He disclosed that among challenges, they faced sexual and gender-based violence including persistent non-support. He is a victim of persistent non-support; his three wives left him with 11 children separately after their families didn’t like his appearance with their daughters. Franklin said the LNP received regular complaints on persistent non-support but not from disabled persons. Persistent non-support, a sexual and gender based-violence, remains a major issue affecting most 3rd world countries, including Liberia. The laws on persistent non-support can be found in Domestic Relations Law of 1973, the penal law of 1976 section 16.5 and several Supreme Court's opinions.
