JOHANNESBURG — A new survey says more than one in three South African men admit to having committed rape.
A 2010 study led by the government-funded Medical Research Foundation says that in Gauteng province, home to South Africa’s most populous city of Johannesburg, more than 37 percent of men said they had raped a woman. Nearly 7 percent of the 487 men surveyed said they had participated in a gang rape.
More than 51 percent of the 511 women interviewed said they had experienced violence from men, and 78 percent of men said they had committed violence against women.
A quarter of the women interviewed said they had been raped, but the study says only one in 25 rapes are reported to police.
