About 3.5 million female condoms officially sanctioned by the World Health Organization -- and produced by Chicago's Female Health Company – are also being distributed for free during the World Cup games to curtail the spread of HIV.

"It's a public health issue,’’ said Rebecca Kizaric, Female Health's training manager, "especially in South Africa where the rates of infection are so high."

According to the international AIDS charity Avert, in the same month that South Africa hosts the games 23,000 of its citizens will die of AID.

Worldwide, 33.2 million people, 15.4 million of which are women aged 15 years and older, are now living with HIV, according to UNAID, and AIDS is the leading cause of death of women 15 to 44 worldwide.

Victoria Kajja, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Uganda, criticizes the Ehlers' contraption for enslaving women emotionally while offering false security. "The fears surrounding the victim, the act of wearing the condom in anticipation of being assaulted, all represent enslavement that no woman should be subjected to," Jaija told interviewers.

According to Human Rights Watch, "South Africa has the highest rates in the world of rape reported to the police. A survey released in June by the Medical Research Council of South Africa found that 28 percent of men surveyed had raped a woman or girl; one in 20 said they had raped a woman or girl in the past year."
