From The San Francisco Chronicle: The
female wing of a civil rights group is urging women in Togo to stage a
week-long sex strike to demand the resignation of the
country's president.
Women are being asked to start withholding sex from their husbands or partners as of Monday, said Isabelle Ameganvi,
leader of the women's wing of the group Let's Save Togo. She said the
strike will put pressure on Togo's men to take action against President
Faure Gnassingbe.
Ameganvi, a lawyer, told The Associated Press that her group is following the example of Liberia's women, who used a sex strike in 2003 to campaign for peace.
"We have many means to oblige men to understand what women want in Togo," Ameganvi said.
The
sex strike was announced at a rally Saturday of several thousand in the
capital city, Lome. The demonstration was organized by a coalition that
is protesting recent electoral reforms, which they say will make it
easier for Gnassingbe's party to win re-election in the parliamentary
polls set for October.
