Executive Summary
While South Africa is considered one of Africa’s most developed countries, it continues to experience significant levels of violence and crime, including crimes affecting Afrikaner and other minority communities across the country. These minority populations face ongoing threats to their safety and security within a broader context of elevated crime rates. Minority communities experience distinct vulnerabilities that warrant focused attention and documentation, including lack of policing resources, discriminatory government policies, and violent rhetoric.
This proposed program will seek to document hateful rhetoric and violent acts against minority communities, assess access to justice and law enforcement protection, as well as research widespread violence affecting both minorities and the broader population in South Africa. The implementing partner will conduct conflict sensitive research and data collection to create a 3 comprehensive record of violence affecting Afrikaner and other South African minority populations in line with international standards and develop recommendations for how to improve the law enforcement situation to ensure equal protection.
