 Religious Sisters of Charity, a Christian Congregation in the Catholic Church protested against the increase in rape.

The Reverend Sisters took to the streets of Kirikiri, Festac, and Satellite on Wednesday to express their concerns on the issue with the theme NO TO RAPE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

The purpose of the demonstration is to end rape and domestic violence in Nigeria.

Rev Sr. Justina Suekime Nelson RSC is the leader of the group in a statement explained rape as barbaric, cruel and an abuse of the God-given dignity of the human person.

“In fact, it is worse than armed robbery and should be criminalized as such. It robs the survivors of their dignity, breaks them into pieces and the effects of the trauma remain all throughout their entire life. The survivors live their entire life in a dilemma”.

The participants carried placards with the following inscriptions such as SAY NO TO RAPE, Rape is a crime, rape equals life imprisonment, Say no to emotional abuse, say No to verbal abuse, Domestic violence is a criminal offence, say no to verbal abuse, say no to psychological abuse, etc.
