Football campaign to say no rape Sierra Leone

Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person without that person's consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority, or against a person who is incapable of giving valid consent or approval.
Rape is the "most alarming" problem against humanity Sierra Leone is faced with. It is a despicable inhumane act that often results in victims suffering from physical as well as psychological long and short term effects like Bruising, Bleeding (vaginal or anal), Depression, prolonged sadness, mental disabilities, sexual transmissible infections, diseases and death. The case of the 5 year old girl Kadijah Saccoh who lost her life to rape some weeks ago triggered heightened tension, vexations and calls for justice in Sierra Leone and all over the world. Because of this incident, the president of Sierraleone has opened up a special criminal court to handle perpetrators of this wicked crime. A positive step highly applauded nationally and worldwide, in the advocacy against rape in Sierra leone. In conjunction to this global advocacy plan, Zion A Happy Home Foundation recently launched a football campaign and conveined sensitization conferences in different locations in Sierra Leone under the theme " SAY NO TO RAPE IN SIERRA LEONE", while joining voices with the first lady of Sierra Leone in her national advocacy against this devilish stigmatizing act called rape with the slogan "TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OUR GIRLS", targeted at men because rape is killing many great female destinies, leaders and people who could lift their families and the image of the nation. During these conferences, females were educated on;

• Rape as a societal problem totally against humanity.
• The need for more girls to acquire education and help build a strong advocacy platform.
• Women, men, as well as parents should be disciplined, and also discipline their children especially young females who are more vulnerable.
• Females should avoid men they don't know.
• Avoid going to hidden places with men.
• Avoid keeping late nights, and doing late night visits.
• Avoid collecting gifts from people they don't know or have never seen.
