The term ''corrective rape'' was coined in South Africa after well-known cases of corrective rapes of [[lesbian]] women such as [[Eudy Simelane]] (who was also murdered in the same attack) and Zoliswa Nkonyana became public. Popularization of the term has raised awareness and encouraged [[LGBT]]+ people in countries across the world to come forward with their own stories of being raped as punishment for or in an attempt to change their sexual orientation or gender identity.<ref name="Denton">{{Cite book |last=Denton |first=Michelle |date=2017|title=Rape Culture: How Can We End It? |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nn5mDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA31 |location=New York |publisher=Greenhaven Publishing LLC |page=31 |isbn=9781534562929 |access-date=8 September 2018}}</ref> Although some countries have laws protecting LGBT+ people, corrective rape is often overlooked.<ref name="Hawthorne" /><ref name="Di" />
