The brutal assault Uyinene Mrwetyana suffered at the hands of a post-office employee has shaken South Africa out of its stupor. This shameful crime of rape and murder is but one among waves of violent acts committed against women and children.

The assault has triggered a sense of urgency among women – and many men – to put a stop to gender-based violence. In a nationwide groundswell of grief and anger, South Africans are demanding that the staggering frequency of rape and murder be brought down.

Uyinene has woken us up. Her face has become the symbol of the need for change. She stands as a single representative for the many thousands who are not seen.

We see her. We see you. We see all the slain women whose stories go untold. We see the men who perpetrate these crimes. We see the men who call out their brothers who perpetuate a culture of rape. We see the toxic system that allows this grotesque reality to continue.
