I spent a day in The Johannesburg Female prison photographing and interviewing women who have murdered their husbands. Most of the women I spoke to killed their partners or had their partners killed in self defence. Most of the women were seeking Amnesty from The South African Government.
In South Africa…
One woman is killed every six days by her intimate partner
One woman is raped every 26 seconds
One out of four women is beaten regularly by her intimate partner
