Foundation for Human Rights Defense Liberia Commends Government for Steps Toward the Fight Against the Crime of RapeMONROVIA – The Foundation for Human Rights Defense (FOHRD)-Liberia is commending President George Manneh Weah and the entire Liberian Government for the bold steps taken so far toward the fight against the increase in the wave of rape in Liberia. FOHRD believes that the recent giant step taken by the Liberian Government in an effort to curb this menace and other associated vices, by declaring rape a “national emergency”, is in the right direction. FOHRD views the action of the American Government as very significant in the fight against corruption and the collaborative efforts of international partners to reduce poverty and protect human rights.
