The Non-Governmental Organisation Coordinating Council
(NGOCC) says perpetrators of rape go scot free because
most victims do not report cases of rape to relevant
authorities.
NGOCC board Chairperson Sarah Longwe says the law was
put in place to punish wrongdoers and it is up to citizens to
use it or ignore it.
Ms Longwe advised all rape victims not to bath after being raped
but to quickly rush to the police.
She has further appealed to all media organisations to study the law
of the country so that they can disseminate accurate
information to the public.
Mrs Longwe further says that even third parties can report
such crimes so that the police can institute investigations.
