Unmuted

South Africa has one of the highest femicide rates in the world, yet femicide is not recognised as a separate crime under South African law. In this episode, Cassandra Dorasamy, Amnesty International South Africa campaigner and Tegan Snyman, research, campaigns and communications assistant, explore what femicide is, why the organisation is calling for its criminalisation, and whether recognising it as a distinct crime could strengthen accountability, prevention, and justice for women.
