Correction from Jaco van Schalkwyk: At this point I believed that men committed 100% of rape - we have subsequently been made aware that this is not always the case.   Our focus will remain raising boys to be good men but we will partner with other organisations this year to make sure that boys are well educated on all forms of gender abuse.
