Monrovia – Hundreds of angry women from various women and youth groups of Liberia took to the streets of Monrovia in protest of the rape amendment bill recently by the Senate. Gaygay disclosed that the Lawmakers said the rape law of life imprisonment for rapists was excessive and unconstitutional. “Therefore we as children of Liberia are calling on the government of Liberia to maintain our rape law." "We do not want a bailable rape offense; let it be a non -bailable offense, used as a tool to any rape in Liberia,” said Jetormu Doten. We say no to a rape amendment, because it violates women rights, which also are human rights issues,” said Abdul –Baki.
