Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The South African Human Rights Commission recognises certain traditional and cultural practices as human rights violations and has encouraged policies that ban them. However, some continue, with prohibitory laws having limited impact on their practice. Recently, HSRC researchers published a report that highlights the need to understand the practice of certain rites of passage through engagement with survivors, leaders, service providers and other members of communities.
