I hear women in politics telling other women in advocacy, to shut up when politics is being discussed. If our leaders would stand up for the women, girls and children, we won’t be having the problems we are having today,” Madam Livingstone said. For Satta Sherriff, founder, Youth in Action for Peace and Empowerment, (YAPE) violence against women, including rape, is not justifiable in any form. Why would society want to justify it by saying it is because of the indecent way women dress. The reason why violence against women is so high, is because much is not being done; we need to do more to protect women and girls,” Sherriff added.
