Rape is an atrocious and heinous crime, which MUST be fought against by every social institution, government and its parastatals. Thus, they – moral and civil disciplines – are pivotal ingredients to combat all forms of deviation such as rape and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Liberia’ schools need to redirect themselves in teaching mores, standards and decency from deeply theoretical, historical and metaphysical ways to more practical and realist manners. Further, academia and academics also need to deconfine themselves from a traditional role of the sector; transmitting and conveying knowledge to the pupils. Hence, putting stringent measures in place to address and reduce alarming rape cases and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) have to be among the main objectives, which they strive to achieve.
