I can't see this taking off. But rape in South Africa is very, very bad. It goes hand in hand with AIDS. Anything that would help is worth it.
Many of the people that are infected by AIDS go to their witch doctors to seek a cure. There is a legend, started by the witch doctors, that if you have sex with a virgin, you will be cured. These virgins usually aren't willing, and so are raped. And then the original AIDS infected man is still infected, so figures that the victim mustn't have been a virgin and looks for someone younger. And so the vicious cycle of rape and AIDS continues.
Hopefully these things help some girls. Although instead of catching AIDS, they might just get killed by the rapist instead. It is a horrible, violent world in South Africa (and sadly - one of the most beautiful countries in the world, too).
BTW - My wife is South African and got out almost 15 years ago. She still has extended family there.
