A 15-year-old rape-survivor sentenced to be whipped 100
times in public in Maldives!
The girl's stepfather is accused of raping her for years
and murdering the baby she bore. Now the court says she must be flogged for
“sex outside marriage”! President Waheed of the Maldives is already feeling
global pressure on this, and we can force him to save this girl and change the
law to spare other victims this cruel fate. This is how we can end the War on
Women – by standing up every time an outrage like this happens.
Let's build a million-strong petition to President Waheed
this week, then threaten the islands' reputation through hard-hitting ads in
travel magazines and online until he steps in to save her and abolish this outrageous
law. Sign now and share this with everyone to get us to a million!
Here is the Petition:
