The new South African government has pledged to ensure women a full and equal role in every aspect of the economy and society. Yet, according to the Human Rights Watch, South African women continue to face extraordinarily high levels of violence which prevent them from enjoying the rights. Victims of violence face a judicial and police system that routinely denies them redress. Women, regardless of race, complain of indifferent to hostile treatment from the criminal justice system. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
