Two women in Gugulethu were hospitalized after a man attacked them.

They were allegedly beaten, kicked and verbally abused after leaving a disco in the township because they were homosexual.

Spokesperson of Free Gender Funeka Soldaat said something needs to be done to put more pressure on government because violence against women should be a priority.

Western Cape police confirmed that they were investigating the matter, no one has yet been charged or the incident.
