The Cape Argus yesterday reported on the rape of a lesbian woman in Philippi. The accused is alleged to have told the woman "You are not a man, you think you are, but I am going to show you, you are a woman."

The accused will appear in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court at 9am on Tuesday.

Members and friends are encouraged to be there at that time in solidarity with those LGBTI people who are living each day in fear of being attacked for their sexual orientation. RSVP to the Facebook event.

It's enough, and we need to have a united voice which says so.

Please see the article by the Cape Argus for more information, and we hope to see you at the court on Tuesday.

The campaign 'Justice for Zoliswa', supported by RainbowUCT and the Coalition to End Discrimination, is a vital step in recognising a growing problem in our society. Gay and lesbian people in poor communities are increasingly becoming the targets of violent crimes.
