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?
Even though Rebombo raped a girl when he was young, it is encouraging for me to read of how he has changed his life around. It's a good reminder that there is good in everyone and God can soften anyones heart, no matter what they have done in the past.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bryanne because people can change especially a person that feels this deeply for what he did. I think this is an uplifting story about how people can change. I think that him apologizing to the girl he raped is really big of him. It shows me that he is truly sorry for what he has done and it takes a lot of courage to apologize to someone for something this big.
