Rape Wise 72hr Campaign

The Rape Wise 72hr campaign aims to facilitate the preventative education of 8 million South African school children.

Background

More children in South Africa contract HIV from sexual assault than from mother to child transmission. Post exposure prophylactics given to victims within 72hrs after the rape will prevent the victim from contracting HIV, but this is not widely known. The average sentence handed down to a convicted rapist is 15yrs, but the majority of rape victims receive the death sentence due to lack of education. You can change this!

We have failed our children and if we do not act now, we will be failing the next generation as well.

	Pilot project sponsored by NTP Radioisotopes (Pty) Ltd in Pelindaba, Pretoria, where Rape Wise recently spoke about sexual awareness and safety to learners and educators of Re-e-Lwele Primary School and Ennis Thabong School (both are part of NTP’s adopt-a-school project).
	During the presentation to learners, 8 cases of rape and child abuse were reported to Rape Wise. These cases were reported to the South African police force and the children were referred for counselling.

 

Campaign Message

The Rape Wise 72hr campaign will educate school children, their parents and teachers on the basics of sexual safety and what to do in the event that they have been sexually abused or raped. Messaging will be in the form of discussions with school children, presentations to parents and leaflets for parents and teachers

Campaign Mechanism & Outcomes

The main focus of the campaign is to train 2500 Rape Wise ambassadors, which will consist of volunteer educators, psychologists and social workers. Each ambassador will be responsible for training 5 schools in their community.

The campaign will kick-off on 14 January 2011
