According www.gov.za, violence against women and children takes many forms, such as:
• Physical violence in the form of domestic violence, terrible violent crimes such as murder, robbery, rape and assault.
• Emotional abuse and trauma at many levels caused by many factors. Women and children in their homes, at work, at schools, on our streets and in our communities suffer from this form of violence.
• Another terrible blight of our democracy is poverty, starvation, humiliation and degradation, especially against women and children. Poverty, inequality and unemployment are conditions under which violence thrives.
