The current protocol to access the National Register of Sexual Offenders (NRSO) in South Africa is a time-consuming process that requires paying a fee of R150 and a waiting period of minimum six weeks.

This practice discourages transparency and inhibits the naming and shaming of sexual offenders - a necessary step towards accountability. We are petitioning to the concerned authorities to make the NRSO publicly accessible and user-friendly.

We believe that the ease of access to such information is crucial to the security and well-being of our communities, particularly the most vulnerable among us.

Making the NRSO public will be a significant step towards deterring sexual offenders and those who abuse women, and holding them accountable. Increased transparency in this area will also promote community vigilance, also aiding in the fight against sexual abuse and gender-based violence.

We encourage everyone who values truth, justice, and community safety to raise their voice and sign this petition. Let's demand public and easy access to the NRSO.
