Corrective rape is a violent abuse of human rights, driven by prejudice. Survivors face barriers to care, support, and justice. We must end this cruelty and protect the dignity and safety of all. #EndCorrectiveRape

Health and human rights activists always face backlash both online and offline. From cyber trolls to stigma and physical abuse. This is a reminder to always respect human rights both online and offline.
