Join CHILD WELFARE SOUTH AFRICA’S PETITION AGAINST RAPE 
Several cases of children who have been brutalized and murdered are reported daily! The President called on the courts to “impose the harshest sentences on such crimes, as part of a concerted campaign to end this scourge in our society”. We at Child Welfare South Africa ask for this issue to be tabled Urgently to show Governments commitment and support in making this a national Priority. We ask for a stricter sentence for rapists and murders as a deterrent for this Heinous crime against Humanity as enshrined in our constitution!!! Rape is a brutal act and is a violation against all humanity!!! Are we breeding a society of Rapist ??????? If these behaviours are left unchecked it will continue to increase daily. 



HELP US TO MAKE A CHANGE in the way our vulnerable are treated in Society! Sign the petition!

Child protection is the fundamental right for every child and every member of society should play a role in ensuring that children are protected from abuse, trafficking, prostitution and RAPE!

We urge you not to ignore this call as a South African citizens or resident for the protection of vulnerable children and women that are being raped daily!
This is a matter that should be of high priority to everyone. We the undersigned call the President and all political parties to make a concerted attempt to ERADICATE RAPE in South Africa by taking stronger action against offenders!!! 

We request a national plan of action fully supported and funded by Government to address violence against women and all children to include the following:
  • to impose stricter penalties for Rape

  • Increase police presence in the community

  • Assist with cases of Rape and abuse against all vulnerable groups!

  • Promote and support prevention programs to prevent violent and criminal behavior especially against children!

The stories shared in the comments section further underscore the urgency of our request for legislative reform. We are currently coordinating with legal advisors to ensure that our formal submission aligns with the highest possible standards for constitutional review.

The momentum behind this petition highlights a collective refusal to accept the current rate of violence against children. This level of public engagement confirms that the demand for stricter sentencing and government accountability is a national priority that can no longer be ignored.

Enough is enough. These monsters deserve life sentences with no parole. Think of the poor babies.
