A Country For My Daughter (SA)
In what seems to be a hard and unwinnable battle against sexual violence in South Africa a few victories offer hope. Human rights activist and mother, Nonkosi Khumalo, revisits the stories, places, and where possible, the women to discover how personal experiences of horrific trauma have transformed how the law against rape is prosecuted. She finds that only public outrage and organised protest have forced the authorities to provide women the protection and justice to which they are entitled. It is hoped that the dynamism, anger and compassion of Khumalo will spur more South Africans to action rather than despair.
