In South Africa, to be a women is to be a target. Corrective rape is what is happening. A lot of women are openly lesbian, and for some reason some men beat them until they are unconscious and rape them. Corrective rape is by definition, raping a gay or lesbian to punish them for their opposition. About 80% believe that being a lesbian or being a gay is wrong. Men believe that it is wrong and unnatural to be a lesbian. We need to learn that our children are our children and we must except their choice. " A woman is a woman, a man is a man", you shouldn't have to change. "The police don't do their job". Says a victim of corrective rape. One case escalated to brutally gang-raping her and then stabbing her and ditching her body into the river near her home. To some, corrective rape is just a hate crime, but it goes much further than just hate crime. The thing is, in some towns they don't have laws against hate crimes, so nothing can be done about it. Some people get justice, but some still don't get justice and must live in the town the person that did this to her.
