Abstract
Despite legal advancements and commitments made in South Africa, homophobia remains prevalent. In this article, various sources of literature – particularly journals – have been reviewed and it has been found that LGBTQIA individuals face significant violations of their rights. They also experience physical and mental health issues, are stigmatised and discriminated against, and are excluded from cultural practices such as traditional male circumcision. It has been established that social work can play a vital role in ensuring that LGBTQIA individuals have access to their rights, educating communities, and advocating for strict penalties against those who engage in homophobia.
