Several Togolese
women who are protesting under the opposition name, “Sauvons Le Togo”
(“Let’s Save Togo”), have on August 28 in Togo’s capital Lome, 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.
