This was announced on Wednesday, April 29 by representatives of a coalition of 11 women's groups in Kenya. The head of the Women's Development Organization, the country's largest organization for the protection of women's rights, Rukia Subou added that prostitutes who will not work for a week will also join the strike. However, human rights activists will pay them for participating in the strike, she specified.
The activists also called for the wives of state leaders, President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinya, to refrain from having sex with their husbands. It is not clear how the spouses of the leaders of the country responded to the request.
“We reviewed everything that can make people talk, and realized that the answer is sex. Sex does not know racial affiliation, does not belong to any political party and is available even in the poorest homes, ”noted Subou.
The strikers hope that weekly abstinence will prompt the president and prime minister to resolve all political differences.
In the elections in Kenya in 2007, Kibaki won with a slight margin. Odinigi supporters provoked inter-ethnic clashes that led to the death of more than a thousand people. To stop the violence, in 2008 both former candidates created a national unity government, but they did not manage to completely eliminate all contradictions. Thousands of Kenyan women are going to refuse sex to their husbands for a week.
