The daily backdrop of violence against women in South Africa sets the stage for Thoko's rape. She wakes up in the middle of the night with a knife at her throat and the case, like so many, is never pursued by law enforcement. After despairing that she'll never be free from the violence of her past and now present, Thoko realizes that for the sake of her newborn niece she must continue to champion the rights of women and children.
