Foundation for Human Rights Defense International (FORHD) Executive Director Tee WonokayMonrovia – The Foundation for Human Rights Defense International (FORHD) Liberia is proposing the establishment of an Independent National Anti-Rape Commission. In a release sent out by the rights group, FORHD’s Executive Director Tee Wonokay said the proposed anti-rape commission must centrally focus on all issues concerning rape. The human rights organization had also called on anti-rape protesters, who had gathered in Monrovia and other parts of the country last week, and also the government, to maintain the peace. “FORHD urges everyone involved to steak to the objective of the protest and avoid any political undertone, which could undermine its true intend,” the rights group further said. FOHRD, which works to promote equal rights and justice in Liberia, wants these contributing factors be tackled from a holistic standpoint through a synchronized institutional framework.
