Pinning down the understandings of current feminist debates on pornography may be long overdue for South African feminists and feminism/s, the subject having not attracted much attention since the 1990s. In South Africa post-1994, feminists paused for a moment to reflect on what the new freedom of expression meant under the new Constitution, and how the emergence of pornography from the underground where it had been illegal under apartheid, possibly related to women’s rights and freedom.
I have registered a political party to contest the elections next year. I have called the party the Women’s Party and it is specifically to deal with the challenges that face women and children in South Africa today. I would appreciate any statistics that you may have on violence against women and women’s rights in South Africa. Thank you.
