'Corrective Rape' - SA

Human rights campaigners have warned of an epidemic of brutal homophobic attacks in South Africa after the murder and alleged gang rape of a lesbian activist.

Noxolo Nogwaza was killed last month after what appeared to be a so-called corrective rape, an increasingly common crime in which men rape lesbians to 'turn' them straight or 'cure' them of their sexual orientation.

The 24-year-old's face and head were disfigured by stoning, she was stabbed several times with broken glass and evidence suggested she was raped. A beer bottle, a big rock and used condoms were found on and near her body.
