assignment Q.2.2 Rape-the cold hard facts


South Africa has been named the 'Rape Capital of The World' due to the high rate of rape cases.
Using the solution fluency process i will propose possible solution to this problem.

Solution fluency process.
1.Define
The problem is that South Afica has been named the rape capital of the world, meaning that it has a high rate of rape cases compared to other countries.
2.Discover
In the past years, the rate of rape statistics has increased drastically.
Our local newspapers, radio stations and television report on cases of rape, be it in the rural or urban areas.
Children and old people are often victims of such incidents but what is more surprising is that the culprites often get a lighter sentence.
It is clear that rape cases will still increase, as long as the culprites have the freedom to get bail within 24hours.
People have lost all hopes on the law as to how it handles rape cases, to them it seems like the victim is not important than the culprite.
3.Dream
I and many people in South Africa believe that there should be a more thighter, more stronger law regarding people charged of rape.
The government can enforce laws that protect and safe gaurd the victims.
One of government's initiative to help victims of rape was to introduce clinical counceling, to help them to heal.
A person charged of rape should not be granted bail, since its such a huge case thus it should be treated as such.
4.Design
This proposed solution can only become a reality, if the government is involved.
Since government is in charge of making the laws,it should make a thighter law towards rape cases, maybe a law that denies bail to a culprite.
5.Deliver
This plan can be put into action by, writing a petition to both SAPS and government to interven in reducing the high rate of rape cases.
It is also vital to encourage victims to talk about such cases to the police, and not be afraid to lay charges.
6.Debrief
News24 has recently announced that the rape statistics of South Africa has decreased in 2015 compared to the last years.
There is still a lot to be done but as a country, we are getting there.
