new wave feminism

“Curing” lesbianism with rape is growing evermore popular in South Africa. Curing. Lesbianism. WITH RAPE. Yeah. Please read the following from Change.org:

“Corrective Rape” is a term used to describe when a male rapes a lesbian with the aim of ‘turning’ her heterosexual.

This heinous crime is prolific in South Africa, especially in the “townships”. 

Most of the victims are tortured, grievously assaulted and sometimes murdered! They are also prone to getting HIV/AIDS from the assault, and many of them commit suicide as a result of the “corrective rape”!

The South African government and justice system are failing the victims of Corrective Rape by letting the perpetrators out on ridiculously low bail, and taking literally years to bring the court-cases to a conclusion. In the meantime the victims have to live with seeing and being taunted and threatened by their rapists every day, as do those who help the victims!

In the last 10 years:
 *31 lesbian women have been murdered because of their sexuality
 *More than 10 lesbians a week are raped or gang raped in Cape Town alone
 *150 women are raped every day in South Africa
 *For every 25 men accused of rape in South Africa, 24 walk free

Despite all this, hate crimes on the basis of sexual orientation are not recognised by South African law.

rape sucks in the west. but rape is a TOOL OF WAR in some countries, including South Africa, The Congo & and probably every country that United States soldiers are currently occupying. Everyone who’s [rightfully] upset with Julian Assange and the Michael Moore disaster should be OUTRAGED at this.

RAPE IS A HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION. yes rape culture sucks balls in America - but rape warfare is horrific. Women of America should be up in arms every single day the UN & US government doesn’t do anything to recognize the fact that this goes on every day.

feminist activism doesn’t have to stop at the border.
