National Women's Day

Today, or rather, tomorrow (August 9) is National Women's Day in South Africa, a Public Holiday.

Today would be a good day for African women, if they have not already done so (my source was a BBC article over a year old) to ask to reform rape laws in South Africa. Despite the changes of the last two decades, rape laws still put the onus on the woman not just to prove she was raped by the defendant, but to prove that she didn't encourage the rape.

News flash: No rape victim can encourage rape, that is why it is called rape. Duh, period, end of story.
