The “Her Rights Initiative” has released an open letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa asking him to institute fair and adequate compensation to black HIV-positive women, who are victims of forced sterilisation.

7 December 2022, 3:13 PM |A nurse hands out a red ribbon to a woman, to mark World Aids Day, at the entrance of Emilio Ribas Hospital, in Sao Paulo December 1, 2014.

The organisation says the letter is in line with the recommendations of a report released by the Commission for Gender Equality confirming forced sterilisation of women in South Africa. Member of the initiative Lukhanye Sikukula says, “The impact of forced sterilisation of women cannot be underestimated. Many of the women suffer severe depression and anxiety along with the psychological impact of not being able to conceive. Some of the women were not even aware that they were sterilised. HIV-positive women are already vulnerable to domestic violence and other abuse.
