He raped as a teenager and now works to stop sexual violence in South Africa

Week 11 Post

This article talks about how women in South Afica are raped every 26 seconds, and the growing problem that it is as many of the victims never report the crimes. This is a shocking statistic that is not unique only to South Africa but all over the world. Dumisani Rebombo is a man who had raped in his youth but now has changed his ways and advocates for the safety of women. I am torn on my feelings regarding this issue and the sanctity and sanity of those who let a self-confessed rapist advocate for the rights of women who have been raped. Is this morally right?
