Abstract

For four decades, South Africa experienced human rights violations related to the apartheid policy implemented in the country. This policy separated the races and resulted in systematic discrimination against black people. Human rights violations that occurred during this period included political repression, violence, discrimination in education, housing, and access to adequate health services. Apartheid policies in South Africa have caused deep suffering for many people and given rise to widespread injustice in society. Although this policy was officially abolished in 1994, its impact is still felt today and efforts to repair the damage caused by apartheid continue. Human rights violations during the apartheid period in South Africa reflected systemic injustices that damaged and caused suffering for many people. Remedial measures and justice continue to be needed to ensure that past mistakes are not repeated and to build a society that is inclusive and fair for all its citizens.
