dc.description.abstractAbstract Many countries lack adequate legislation to combat sexual harassment of women. The situation in South Africa however is quite different. Since the collapse of Apartheid, there are numerous legislatures and policies in place to protect women from acts of violence. Yet, South Africa has one of the highest prevalence of sexual violence in the world indicating that these laws are ineffective and not enough to stem the tide of violence against women. Cultural and traditional factors and masculinity construction play a major role in the creation of gender inequalities. Formal sexuality education at schools and universities in South Africa is absent from the curriculum. Sexuality education in South Africa is mainly rendered through community-based training and outreach programmes. This chapter explores this manner of education, the benefits of such education and the impact this education has had both on society at large and on combatting sexual harassment. The sexuality education initiatives discussed in this chapter are those that include men that offer them modes to address their own social dominance and the subordinate position of women. Keywords: South Africa, sexual harassment, masculinity, sexual education programmes, gender equity and reconciliation (GER)en_US
