Documentary to shine spotlight on sexual corruption
--:--
Sexual corruption happens and people often don’t even know when it happens, says Zakhona Mvelase of African Women Against Corruption Network, which is a partner in a new documentary on the topic.
“Sexual corruption is a gendered form of corruption that disproportionately affects women and girls when those entrusted with authority abuse it to obtain sexual favours.”
To raise awareness about sexual violence and abuse of power, German Development Co-operation (GIZ) South Africa, in partnership with African Women Against Corruption Network, will launch a documentary titled “Rising Voices: Unveiling Sexual Corruption in South Africa” on Thursday.
Mvelase, a founding director of the network, says anyone is a potential victim of sexual corruption and not enough is being done about the injustice.
This month is the 68th commemoration of women’s month to highlight challenges faced by women, such as oppression.
