What else was she supposed to do?

In this thought-provoking opinion piece, Lehlogonolo Mokgathi, a Candidate Attorney at Mphela & Associates, reflects on the ongoing crisis of violence against women in South Africa.

Writing from a male perspective, he challenges the conversation around women’s safety and asks a more difficult question, instead of continually asking women what they should have done differently, what are men doing to challenge the attitudes, behaviours and silence that allow violence against women to continue?

The article is a call for shared responsibility, safer communities, and a culture in which women should not have to make their lives smaller in order to feel safe.
