CMY3705 Assignment 1 (COMPLETE ANSWERS) Semester 1 2025 (763052)- DUE 11 April 2025; 100% TRUSTED Complete, trusted solutions and explanations. For assistance, Whats-App 0.6.7-1.7.1-1.7.3.9... Each year, during the June and December school holidays, young men from various ethnic groups in South Africa attend traditional initiation schools, where circumcision is a key rite of passage. Despite its cultural importance, the practice has led to tragic outcomes, with 253 deaths reported in the Eastern Cape over the last six years, often due to unsafe practices and inadequate oversight of government, practitioners and other parties involved with the cultural practice. Research Focus: 1. What mechanisms are currently in place to ensure justice for families of victims of circumcision-related deaths, and how effective are they? 2. What practical recommendations can help prevent initiation school deaths in South Africa while respecting cultural traditions? Focus areas for discussion: 1. Introduction: Overview of circumcision practices and associated deaths. 2. Justice Mechanisms: Analysis of current systems (i.e., legal, community-based). 3. Effectiveness: Assessment of how well these mechanisms address the issue. 4. Recommendations: Proposals for reducing deaths and supporting victim families.
