"Corrective" rape: raping a lesbian with the intention of converting her to a heterosexual.
Avaaz campaign against corrective rape in South Africa
I have two very close friends who have been victims of sexual assault. There was nothing I could do to help them when they were attacked and for that I am deeply regretful. Hopefully by making it known that I stand against sexual violence (on people of any sexual orientation, actually) then perhaps I can help convince the South African government to take a stronger stand against the people who commit these heinous crimes physically and psychologically scarring millions of people for life. Sign the petition. It's the least we could do.
The statistics on rape in South Africa are astounding. A woman has a one in four chance of being raped by age sixteen and has a better chance of being raped than learning how to read. For goodness sake! Please sign the petition above to stop the commission of sexual assault with impunity. If you have a blog please put up the link so that your followers can take action too.
