April 30, 2009 at 15:08Thousands of Kenyan women intend to refuse sex to their husbands for a week
This was announced on Wednesday April 29 by representatives of the coalition of 11 women's groups in Kenya. The head of the Women's Development Organization, the country's largest organization for the protection of women's rights, Rukia Subou, added that prostitutes who will not work for a week will also join the strike. True, human rights activists will pay them for participating in the strike, she said.
Activists also called on the wives of the first persons of the state - President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odgi - to refrain from sexual relations with husbands. It is not yet clear how the spouses of the country's leaders responded to the request.
“We reviewed everything that can make people talk, and realized that the answer is sex. Sex does not know racial affiliation, does not belong to any political party and is available even in the poorest homes, ”Subou said.
The strikers hope that a week-long abstinence will prompt the president and prime minister to resolve all political differences.
In the Kenyan election in 2007, Kibaki won by a slight margin. Supporters of Odinga provoked ethnic clashes that led to the deaths of more than a thousand people. To end the violence, in 2008, both former candidates created a government of national unity, but failed to completely eliminate all contradictions. Thousands of Kenyan women intend to refuse sex to their husbands for a week.
