Article-Summary: 

A recent report by Amnesty International has said that at least one out of every three women in the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in her lifetime - while the University of Cape Town has reported that at least four South African women are killed every day by an intimate partner. Zambia's police, however, are taking a number of steps - including actively pressing for tougher sentences - to tackle the problem in that country.
