Corrective rape, where a male pupil rapes a female lesbian pupil to "make her heterosexual", was a growing phenomenon in schools, the SA Human Rights Commission said in a report released today.
A gay and lesbian rights group told the commission during public hearings that homosexual pupils experienced "high levels of prejudice" at school resulting in "exclusion, marginalisation and victimisation".
