If I recall well, the height of women protest in
Nigeria in recent times culminated in women
both old and young, baring their breasts in
protest but not pulling their pants down. But the
question is, how effective is this protest method?
Anyway, during a protest by the opposition
collective “Sauvons Le Togo” (“Let’s Save Togo”)
on August 28 in Togo’s capital Lome, several
female demonstrators spontaneously dropped
their trousers in front of police forces to provoke
them, to the great amusement of fellow
protesters, bystanders and journalists.
The day before, the collective had called on its
female members to join a week-long “sex strike”,
designed to motivate more men to join them in
their fight against President Faure Gnassingbé.
For the moment there is no way of knowing if
this appeal to “close their legs”, as local
journalists describe it, has been adhered to.
Another demonstration is planned for next
Thursday, where this time women have been
openly invited to undress.
