The ACDP has called on men to protect women against violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Johannesburg – The ACDP has called on men to protect women against violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cViolence against women is largely perpetrated because men regard women as possessions and sexual objects,\u201d African Christian Democratic Party MP Steve Swart said in a statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is this attitude which must change,\u201d he said. \u201cMen can play the most active part in preventing violence against women.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a women’s issue, it is a man’s issue. VAW (violence against women) is interlaced with gender equality, and deeply ingrained in the attitudes of men\u201d.<\/p>\n

Swart was commenting at the close of the 16 days of activism against gender violence.<\/p>\n

During the ACDP’s Vikiela (isiZulu for protect) campaign, it had highlighted 16 issues relating to violence against women, said Swart.<\/p>\n

These include: trafficking, sexual harassment, child abuse, sugar daddies, abuse by teachers, substance abuse and VAW, HIV\/Aids as a result of VAW, prostitution, domestic violence, corrective rape, rape by male nurses, ukhuthwala (abduction and forced marriage of girls who are frequently under-aged), rape and prison rape.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood men need to speak up every time they hear a woman being disrespected, objectified and violated even by words,\u201d said Swart.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can no longer enshrine a patriarchal culture nor condone violence with attitudes at the expense of our women.\u201d – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
