Body Copy:​

​

It is estimated that 40% of South African women will be raped in their lifetime and only 8.6% of rape perpetrators are convicted. If you are a survivor,
your clothes could contain DNA that can be used to put your perpetrator in jail. Don’t wash or remove your clothes before going for a forensic investigation.
If there is no alternative, wrap them in a piece of newspaper or place in a paper bag. Do not place them in a plastic bag as this could destroy the evidence.
