The Importance of Thuthuzela Care Centres in South Africa’s Anti-Rape Strategy
The Thuthuzela Care Centres (TCCs) are a beacon of hope for rape survivors in South Africa, a country with one of the highest rates of sexual violence in the world. These one-stop facilities provide a safe and supportive environment for survivors to receive medical attention, counseling, and legal assistance. TCCs were established as a response to the urgent need for an integrated strategy for preventing secondary victimisation, improving prosecution and supporting rape victims.
