| Everyone knows that South Africa is the country where there is more reported violence against women than in any other country of the world. The struggle to keep counting and to track this violence alone by socially concerned gender activists has been a disturbing social alert that something is wrong with us as a nation. It has signaled a social problem, particularly for a country which has committed in diverse ways in policy, law and in its Constitution to peace, rebuilding, transforming the rubric of a society with historically deep race, class and gender cleavages. Previous issues of Agenda have highlighted the importance of social research on gender–based violence and the inherent bias and flaws in the criminal justice system which contribute to the failure of the legal system to adequately address victims of violence's equal rights to justice. In shifting the focus to men in the discussion of violence in its wider sense, we note the important research (by the Medical Research Council, Gender Links and Sonke Gender Justice amongst others) on gender–based violence in the country. This issue acknowledges the value of social investigation in seeking to understand why men commit violence and to understand some of the social causes of gender-based violence, and the undeniable reality that a worrying proportion of men admit to having raped women or committed acts of gender violence. The numerous horrific crimes committed in 2013 alone of gender violence against young women, elderly women and children which we have witnessed makes this issue one which elicits deep consternation.
