South African Women Raped

A gang of gunmen forced their way into a music video shoot and raped eight young women from the cast in a small South African town this week, police said Friday.

Human rights campaigners say at least 10 lesbian women in South Africa are sexually assaulted every week by men who claim to be "curing" their victims of homosexuality, according to a CNN report. The sexual attacks are often accompanied by "horrifying violence" that the women are left permanently scarred or fatally injured, says the Daily Mail.
