To mark the tenth National Women's Day in South Africa, Africa Christian Action held a mock 'rape trial and execution' of a rapist outside Parliament in Cape Town, complete with gallows, noose, Scripture banners declaring "The wages of sin is death...", defendant, witnesses and judge, the drama was carried out in light rain with a heavy media contingent recording the proceedings. The play highlighted the plight of women raped in South Africa and the failure of the criminal justice system to provide an adequate deterrent. "When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers." Prov 21:15

Africa Christian Action Chairman, Peter Hammond declared outside Parliament: "Women in South Africa don't need pious platitudes from politicians and meaningless public holidays. Women need respect and protection - practical action - Abolish abortion, eliminate pornography and execute rapists."

At the end of the day whatever you do or write will offend some and gain support from others. You will get criticism either way. If you can't handle verbal abuse and criticism, then it's best not to take a stand against anything and rather stay in bed all day. We need to be vigilant in our stand against unrighteousness. We need to think of creative ways of taking a public stand against immoral laws and keep up to date on these opportunities to stand up for righteousness.
