Woman Against Rape has also started the hand out of Edu-Activity Book Sets to children at various schools and presents an introductory lesson to pique the interest of the children with fun stories and songs about being aware of sexual predators and personal safety.
- These book sets include an edu-activity book filled with activities and tips for children on how to KEEP SAFE and BE SMART, an educational DVD, crayons and a tear-out certificate which they can personalise with their name upon completion of the book.
- We at WAR encourage all parents to help their children be aware of their personal safety and the dangers that may come their way by purchasing an Edu-Activity Book and DVD Set to work through with their child.

Woman Against Rape is continually marching and protesting against rape and abuse to create awareness surrounding these horrific crimes.
WAR raised awareness in the streets and had loads of fun with the biking community in Port Elizabeth in 2016, raising awareness of abuse and rape. It was a day to be remembered as the police escorted hundreds of bikers and VW beetles and kombis waving flags and hooting through the community. Donations were welcomed and comfort packs were handed over to those in need in PE.

WAR has finally put a “face” to survivors of sexual assault and abuse, speaking out in local communities such as churches, schools, various Woman Clubs, on radio and at many corporate companies. We aim to create awareness surrounding this ever-increasing crime, providing practical strategies on how to avoid these situations and explaining misconceptions which often lead to thoughtless comments to victims who then take even longer to heal.
Raising awareness of the seriousness of sexual offences in South Africa is paramount to ending the rape and abuse that is tearing our families and nation apart! To the end, WAR is dedicated to educating adults by giving talks at places of work, social gatherings or church groups.
-
Topics include Types of Abuse, How to Talk to my Child about Sexual Predators, How to Help Someone Heal and usually includes a self-defence demo and small gift to attendees.

The below is a collection of articles covering a range of topics to assist those in crisis and their families by arming them with valuable information.
In an effort to prevent rape and abuse, WAR started a “Pepper Spray Project” in South Africa. By handing out pepper sprays free of charge to those who cannot afford to buy them, WAR is empowering women and men to be able to defend themselves. In the first area we gave the pepper spray out, there has been a decrease of reported rape cases.
WAR believes that self-defence and protection should be an important priority for women and men. We, therefore, invite partner organizations to talk and do self-defence demos at our awareness campaigns.

Self-defence training aims to arm individuals with skills to avoid, interrupt and to resist assault. It can increase the options and choices that we have in any given situation, including situations where we are at risk of violence.
