If you are an ardent user of social media you have seen this #JusticeforLiz and this #protectourpanties and you are probably wondering what it is all about.
Well a 16 year old girl in Busia was gang raped and beaten by people
she knew as she was leaving her grandfather's funeral.The scoundrels
then DUMPED her in a PIT LATRINE leaving her for death.The youngster
named Liz was lucky to have survived but suffered a broken spine and has
the worst case of fistula.So what penalty were these vile offenders
given?Life in prison?Stoning?Castration perhaps?No,the rapists were
ordered to SLASH grass!The justice system has really gone to the dogs!On hearing this story,a lot of people were outraged and there is an online campaign that aims at stopping rape and getting justice for the lass.Poet and rape survivor Sitawa Wafula is among the celebrities that have joined Kenyans in this campaign.
If you interested in seeking justice for Liz and other victims of rape:Join us in calling for Justice for Liz, an immediate arrest of the perpetrators and disciplinary action on the police by signing this petition and make a difference.
