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.
