JOHANNESBURG, Oct 12 - Hiking through fields and along dirt roads, a South African rape survivor finished a more than 700 kilometer walk on Saturday across a country known for violence against women.
"This walk has forced me to release my emotions and speak out so others feel brave enough to do so too," said the 45-year-old. Around 3,000 women were murdered in 2018 - around one every three hours - which is more than five times higher than the global average, according to the World Health Organization.
