Men Abuse

Every year from the 25th of November to the 10th of December South Africa and other countries initiated a campaign of 16 Days of Activism Against Women and Child Abuse. There are many activities emphasising the abuse of Women and Children, and most calls are for such a campaign to be continued for 365 days.
