Together Against Abuse

Reply from Cynthia Totten, member of American Just Detention Organization

August 1, 2009
Hi Memory,
I am in Jo-burg at the moment, in fact. Please go to our website, www.justdetention.org, to see a fact sheet we have prepared on sexual violence in detention facilities here. I will add you to the list for our Action Update, and please do forward to me any information you have regarding instances of abuse, as it will be most helpful for advocacy efforts.
Best,
Cynthia.
