Saturday is the last day of the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence .. However, the issue of abused men is also being raised.

Thatoyaone Gaobepe is among those who are breaking the silence. He was sexually assaulted in police holding cells in 2010 and is using his experience to give hope to many other men who have suffered in silence. “I thought the other people in the cell would help me but they couldn’t help me because they were also scared. The second guy came and did the same thing. When I cried they told me to keep quiet. They then lit the toilet paper to see if I was bleeding. When they noticed that I wasn’t bleeding, the first guy assaulted me again.”“Maybe this is the way for me to heal. It’s a way for me to help others who’ve gone through this but can’t talk about it.
