Madagascar's Parliament has passed a law which allows chemical and, in some cases, surgical castration of those found guilty of raping a minor.

The activists claim that the move is an appropriate deterrent to curb a "rape culture". The law was passed on February 2, and the Senate, the upper house, ratified it last week. Now, the High Constitutional Court must validate it by signing it into law by President Andry Rajoelina.
