		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Sunday. I go to a mall to get some art supplies. It&#8217;s an ordinary mall, outdated even, with strange linoleum flooring and an assortment of second-hand stores and haberdasheries. It&#8217;s the type of mall your gran goes to for wool, or other assorted items needed when growing older. So imagine my surprise when I...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every eight hours in South Africa, a woman is murdered by her intimate partner. Three a day. At least. The Preamble of the Domestic Violence Act (DVA) states that victims of domestic violence are among the most vulnerable members of society. The DVA describes a variety of behaviours that can be classified as domestic violence...]]></description>

It replicated 1950s sexism assuming that men in the family are breadwinners, sit around watching TV all day, and that the women in the family do all the cleaning. Accordingly men were given the opportunity...]]></description>

It&#8217;s hard for me to imagine what 100 people look like, never mind thousands of people. So trying to imagine the 64&#160;514 people who reported a sexual offence between...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people spend a lot of their time making straw-women arguments about what it means to be feminist. Feminists, they assume, are all unshaven, definitely don&#8217;t wear make-up or do their hair, and perhaps are a bit overweight. Feminists, they think, are all militant and anti-men. Feminists do not have a sense of humour, and...]]></description>
