A Togolese opposition leader, Isabelle Ameganvi calls on a weeklong sex strike, so that arrested demonstration participants are released. Last week the security forces had arrested 120 demonstrators in a clash between the security forces and the protesters. The protesters are against the new electoral reforms that favor in their view the ruling party.
Meanwhile, 112 were released, but the remaining eight were in possession of weapons (knives).
"I am inviting all women to observe a one-week sex strike, fasting and prayers to set our arrested brothers and husbands free," says Isabelle Ameganvi, "So all you ladies have to keep the gate of your 'motherland' locked up to all men up from Monday to Sunday." In this context, the women should wear red pants to express their anger!
If the prisoners are not released until Thursday, the women will storm the jail naked to force the release.
"We await them, in a state of rule of law like ours, we will get them arrested for offending moral values," security minister Damehane Yark said.
I wonder how this story continues.
What's your opinion, is it the only way for women to put pressure on a government, especially in Africa?
