          Many people who blamed culture for rape also viewed dressing as a contributory factor to rape; The majority of the people do not know if raping a commercial sex worker is a crime or not and many of them blame cultural violations against these workers. Most of the people who blamed culture believed that marital rape exists; Most people thought it was not the child’s fault if the child got raped, however more thought differently if the child was a teenager; Many people believed that a boy can be raped; Most of the people indicated that the first port of call after rape is the police, with a significant number also saying a medical facility but both groups were agreed that the report should be made within 48 hours; Very few people knew that pregnancy could be prevented after rape; Even fewer people knew that HIV could be prevented after rape; Most people knew that there are laws that prohibit rape including marital rape and statutory rape; Many people did not know of harmful cultural practices that make women susceptible to rape. RECOMMENDATIONS     There is a need for increased public education especially areas that could reduce/mitigate the horrific effects of rape on the victims such as HIV prevention through post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and pregnancy prevention; There is also need to emphasise the need for victims to report rape immediately after rape occurs, although within 48 hours the interventions mentioned above would still possibly work; There is a real need to strengthen efforts at increasing awareness on what cultural practices constitute harmful cultural practices and reducing the continued practice of such harmful cultural practices; There needs to be a shift in societal reasoning so that victims are never blamed for being raped and perpetrators never excused for committing rape.
