SEX STRIKE IN TOGO

The 'Lets Save Togo' women's collective have called for the women of Togo to go on a week-long sex strike in order to press for the resignation of the country's president and in protest against human rights violations, corruption and torture. The women say that "Togolese women are more affected by poverty. They must keep the pot boiling, feed their husband and children who, in disadvantaged communities, remain dependent on them for a long time – especially as unemployment is rampant and the price of food staples is soaring."
