This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Member of Parliament, Nazley Sharif, from the Democratic Alliance.

The conversation touches on Freedom Day commemorations yet some communities are still discriminated against, for example the oppression of women, which leaves them out of the economic circle.

Over 90% of sexual offences in South Africa are committed against women and it is estimated that almost 30% of these crimes go unreported. 
In the 10 years period (2008-2018) 584 497 sexual offences were reported to the South African Police Services.
