Abstract

Le passage de l’Apartheid à la démocratie en 1990 fut vécu par la population noire sudafricaine comme une victoire des droits de l’Homme. La lutte pour la libération des peuples opprimés et l’importation d’un modèle étatique occidental ont provoqué des milliers de victimes1. La chute de l’Apartheid a permis l’exacerbation de formes identitaires diffuses et n’a pas pour autant entraîné une baisse significative de la criminalité : selon INTERPOL, l’Afrique du Sud, serait aujourd’hui le pays où règne le plus de violence.

Violence

Violence is the use of physical force to cause harm to people, animals, or property, such as pain, injury, death, damage, or destruction. Some definitions are somewhat broader, such as the World Health Organization's definition of violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation.

Sexual violence

Sexual violence is any sexual act or attempt to obtain a sexual act by violence or coercion, act to traffic a person, regardless of the relationship to the victim. It occurs in times of peace and armed conflict situations, is widespread, and is considered to be one of the most traumatic, pervasive, and most common human rights violations. Sexual violence is a serious public health problem and has a profound short or long-term impact on physical and mental health, such as an increased risk of sexual and reproductive health problems, an increased risk of suicide or HIV infection.

Domestic violence

Domestic violence is violence or other abuse that occurs in a domestic setting, such as in a marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence, which is committed by one of the people in an intimate relationship against the other person, and can take place in relationships or between former spouses or partners. In its broadest sense, domestic violence also involves violence against children, parents, or the elderly.
