Assault on women needs tough laws

Letters

EVERY time I read through a newspaper, I always come across reports of women and children being sexually assaulted and raped by men.
This inhumane act has spread virally throughout the country like the deadly disease HIV-AIDS.
Many victims are ashamed to come out publicly and speak.
Children are the most-affected ones because they can’t speak out and defend themselves.
Many of the perpetrators are usually between the ages of 20-50 years.
They committed this awful crime because they have an unstable mindset.
As a concerned citizen I’m calling on the Government to put in tough measures to protect and safeguard our mothers, sisters and children.
