South Africa's Academy Award winning actress and activist Charlize Theron said on Monday that a woman is raped every 26 seconds in her country, a situation she described as "quite horrific". Appointed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Theron took over her new job as United Nations Messenger of Peace to lead the campaign to end violence against women."The statistics on rape cases were quite horrific," Theron told a news conference at UN headquarters in New York on her first day at work, joining nine other existing Messengers of Peace to help advance various UN campaigns."One in every three women is raped in her lifetime and the number was devastating," Theron said. "It is getting worse."
