#RapeNationalEmergency
The Liberian government is stepping up its efforts to stop gender-based and sexual violence in response to recent protests against rape.
President George Weah released a statement on Sept. 11 that declared rape a national emergency in the country. Over the past few months, since the pandemic started there has been an increase in sexual assaults and rapes. Women’s rights advocates praised the move from the President on raising awareness but emphasize the need to hold Weah accountable, and create efforts that ensure the safety of women in the country as well as resources for victims affected! Use these resources to educate yourself, raise awareness and help in any way possible!
