DA@WORK 27 November - DA holds victims of crime week
QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"There can be no doubt that to the millions of South Africans who have been the victims of crime, crime is the number one issue in this country today, yet a criminal in South Africa today has a far, far greater chance of receiving a speeding fine than of being convicted in a court of law for raping a baby, or torturing a farmer to death."

DA Safety and security spokesperson, Dianne Kohler Barnard at the launch of the DA's 'Power to the Children Campaign' on the eve of the 16 Days of Activism.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
DID YOU KNOW?

* There was a 21.9% increase in the number of people reported missing between 2001 and 2004, with a total of 13 067 missing persons reported over this period, or nine people every day.
* Of this figure, 3 194 were children.
* Many of these children would be victims of human trafficking, which has become a multi-million dollar industry.
* Humans, particularly children, are used a sex slaves and drug mules, and are used in the creation of child pornography and as cheap labour.
