One in every ten black lesbians across South Africa have been victims of sexual assault because of their sexual orientation. But will hate crime legislation help to stem the scourge of corrective rape? The debate rages on. The annual 16 days of activism campaign brings awareness to these issues, but is 16 days a year enough? Shain Germaner and Christa van der Walt take a look at the story of a survivor who doesn't know if she'll ever heal.
