Virgin Rape Myth
There is a dangerous myth in Zimbabwe that men will be cured of HIV/AIDS if they have sex with a virgin. This advice -- given by some traditional healers -- is one reason behind rapes. These rape victims are often young girls. CNN briefly profiles a child-rape survivor (now age 37) who has been fighting against this abuse. Due to threats on her life, she now lives in the UK.
