We Seek Justice For All The Raped Victims At Assin – MWOW

We the members of Modern Women of Wisdom International (MWOW), an all-Female public-spirited organization are still in a state of mourning and desolation when we read the numerous stories of rape cases at Assin in the Central Region of Ghana.

It is sad to note, that, innocent girls who have a greater chance of escaping poverty through education and live more productive lives could be subjected to such heartlessness. The innocent girls whose ages ranges from 7months to 16 years were raped by some able bodied men who had no sympathy for humanity.

As an Organization of Women who have pledged to seek justice for the oppressed in the society, we are totally embarrassed by the shocking news of rape cases emanating from the Assin area on our news desk.

Research shows children have strong curiosity to their surroundings as their mobility increases. Therefore, besides having a positive firm discipline, parents should be alert to possible abuse of their kids by unassuming persons.

Parents should kindly listen to the emotional expressions of their children emphatically as most rapists threaten their victims with death thereby decreasing their self-confidence, performance in school, physical health and social relationships.

We therefore call on the Ghana Police Service to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators of these monstrous crimes to serve as a deterrent to “FUTURE RAPISTS”. The Police must leave no stone unturned by bringing all the perpetrators of these scandalous acts in Assin to book.

Again, we call on the NCCE and the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs to institute a robust advice system, spelling out the need for our dear chiefs to protect their subjects from evil minded persons by allowing the laws of Ghana to work without fear or favour.

Last but not least, we beseech Civil Society Groups, the Gender Ministry, the Ministry of Information, research institutions etc.to embark on ground-breaking investigations to find out the reasons behind this rampant rape cases in the area.

LONG LIVE GHANA,
LONG LIVE MWOW.
