Ponte - Feb 2023 - Volume 79 - Issue 2 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2023.2.4 Abstract: Despite the legal strides and commitment that have been made in South Africa, homophobia is still ripe. This article has reviewed numerous sources of literature, mainly from journals. It has been found that LGBTQIA suffers an immense violation of their rights; experience physical and mental health deficits; are subjected to stigma and discrimination, and suffer exclusion from cultural dispensation, especially in traditional male circumcision. It further established that social work has a huge role to play in ensuring that LGBTQIA individuals have access to all kinds of rights; spread education to communities, and advocate for severe penalties for perpetrators of homophobia.
