Soft toys are placed on a windowsill at the Teddy Bear Clinic, where abused children are treated, in Johannesburg, Friday, Feb. 8, 2013. In a country where one in four women are raped and where months-old babies and 94-year-old grandmothers are sexually assaulted, citizens are demanding action after a teenager was gang-raped, sliced open from her stomach to her genitals, and left for dead on a construction site last week.

About this Article

The chime sounds every four minutes on the radio station, reminding listeners that statistically yet another child or woman in South Africa is being raped. It's also a call to action for citizens outraged over the gang-rape of a teenager who was mutilated — her body carved open from her stomach to her genitals — and left for dead on a construction site.
