Corrective Rape Today I found a website with a petition opposing the practice of "corrective rape." This term means the rape of a gay female in the suupposed hope that she will find it pleasurable and give up her foolish lesbian ways. While this might seem too incredible to believe, a story about this very thing was told to me by a trusted friend when I lived in Argentina In that case, a young girl was raped at the instruction of her own father. He, in fact, paid someone to rape his daughter for this same purpose. When the truth made it out, the father was sent to jail for a sentence of 10 years, as I recall. Here is a link on the case of Millicent Gaika of South Africa. http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_corrective_rape/ S. Hein |
