Video: Hate crimes - The rise of ‘corrective’ rape in South Africa

This video shows the terrifying stories of lesbian women in South Africa who are being raped by men who believe it will cure them of their sexual orientation. Not only are these women being raped, they are being physically abused in other ways, and in some cases forced to perform oral sex on men to “straighten them out”.

View the video above to see the terrible things these women have endured and the ignorance of people who support these acts. Much love and prayer go out to these women, their families, and those near and far that have had to endure the same or similar treatment.
