- Findings
- There, the TRC concludes that the state was responsible for the severe ill treatment of women in custody through harassment and the deliberate withholding of medical attention, food, and water. Women were abused by the security forces in ways that specifically exploited their vulnerabilities as women, such as rape or threats of rape and other forms of sexual abuse, threats against family and children, removal of children from their care, false stories about illness or death of family members and children, and humiliation and abuse surrounding biological functions such as menstruation and childbirth.
- Recommendations
- Among their recommendations and proposals of reconciliation, the TRC stressed the importance of being sensitive to the needs of groups that have been particularly disadvantaged in the past, notably women and children. The recommendations of the final report related to specific areas in the public and private sectors that the TRC believed could assist in the consolidation of democracy, the building of a culture of human rights, and the reconciliation process. The TRC recommended, for example, that government should pay more attention to the transformation of education, the provision of shelter, access to clean water and health services, and the creation of job opportunities. It will be impossible to create a meaningful human rights culture, the TRC argued, without high priority to economic justice. Moreover, the TRC urged that human rights curricula be introduced in formal education, specialized education, and the training of law enforcement personnel. Issues such as racism, gender discrimination, conflict resolution, and the rights of children should be included in such curricula. Concerning the administration of justice, the TRC recommended training in human rights principles and issues, including gender-specific abuse and appropriate responses. It also urged that imbalances in the racial and gender composition of judges on the high court be urgently addressed and that a fast-track judicial training program be introduced for black and female advocates, attorneys, and academics who aspired to judicial appointment. The TRC also suggested that the media intensify programs of affirmative action and empowerment of women to ensure better gender balance.
