Dumisani Rebombo, a man who once raped a girl, is now an
advocate for women’s rights in Africa. He committed the act at age 15 because his
friends said that he should prove his manhood by raping someone. Rebombo and
two of his friends raped her one after the other. Now, he looks back and feels
very guilty for what he has done and has asked for forgiveness from his victim.
He found out how much he had affect her life and that since then she had been
raped two more times. In South Africa it is more likely for a woman to be raped
than learn to read; it happens to a woman every 26 seconds in South Africa
alone. There were 66,166 cases of rape reported last year, and it is believed
that there were many more that just weren’t reported. In attempt to stop the
violence and to start creating healthier relationships between men and women, Rebombo
now works as the manager of “One Man Can.”
