Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow in full sentences.

Violence Against Women – A Problem In South Africa

Violence against women has become a serious problem in South Africa and the world.

Information from different countries indicates that 35% of all women have been

physically or sexually abused by an intimate or non-intimate partner.

While women across the globe fall victim to physical or sexual violence every day,

African women are particularly vulnerable to this regard. It has been concluded that

African countries have some of the highest levels of physical and sexual violence

against women in the world. However, the statistics are sometimes considered

unreliable due to poor reporting probably as a result of fear. The South African report

partly links the low report and conviction rate of violence perpetrators to the

post-apartheid public perception of the police force.
