Civil society must hold the state accountable without making a fetish of the state, and inadvertently propping up statism by assuming that all order flows from "the authorities". A more mature activism around sexual violence would ask questions of ourselves, analyse why women's humanity and agency are systematically denied and how that can be changed, piece by piece. When the next wave of protest rolls in, it must interrogate the state to the extent necessary, but also realise the limits of such an approach, and use its own greater capacity for constructive change.
