The 1000 Women Trust will mobilise women and men to boycott companies and the sale of games that exploit women and their bodies.
A petition to ban a graphic video game that glorifies sexual assault will be delivered to the country’s communications department on Monday, according to the 1000 Women Trust.
Said Tina Thiart of 1000 Women Trust via an e-mailed statement on Thursday: “There is no place for computer games that have rape, human trafficking or domestic violence as a theme in our country or any country in the world.” She said there were mixed reports on the good and bad of computer games, but the 1000 Women Trust believed that violent computer games affected children in general “very badly”.
“Rape is not acceptable. We are all working hard to create a new culture of non violence – advocating to eradicate violence against women and girls – therefore this game should not be available in South Africa. We call on all mothers, daughters and men to stand together, unite and to join us to keep the game from our shelves,” Thiart said.
