Rape, as tagged in law books all over, is unexciting and makes no good to society generally.<\/p>\n
In Sierra Leone, to be specific, homes of the uninformed and uneducated experience rampant and uncontrolled incidences of rape by ruthless and thoughtless hooligans of society.<\/p>\n
Even the rich and enlightened infiltrate homes of the poor and vulnerable to do dirty games with girl children.<\/p>\n
Conversely, some girls make abrupt leave of their homes and are seen in reckless and senseless street trips, meddling and mingling with bad boys, who, in the end ravish them.<\/p>\n
Irrespective of concerns and human efforts by respectable organizations, in Sierra Leone, rape continues to rise unchecked.<\/p>\n
It is so because organizations responsible for the apprehension and punishment of perpetrators seemed to be not doing their duty to reflect national concern.<\/p>\n
A case to mention is the police. \u00a0Being the arm selected to arrest and prosecute rape offenders; it should be seen carrying out rigorous and punishable measures against offenders of society rather than receiving monies from them and make them get free lunch.<\/p>\n
No matter what society may say, rape is indeed a menace and must be prevented forcefully.<\/p>\n
Of course, court officials must be guided by the laws of this country; follow its interpretations and slam punishment as tagged.<\/p>\n
It begs the question: why are adults going for the under-aged, ravish them and make them suffer stigma all the days of their lives?<\/p>\n
It is, and of course, in the United Nations declaration for human rights charter that a child is from age 0-18.<\/p>\n
The straight talk is that responsible individuals of society have had their hands in the raping of future female folks of society thus inflicting everlasting stigma on them.<\/p>\n
To this I now ask that government revisit laws as explained in the good books and ensure that perpetrators of rape do not go unpunished.<\/p>\n
It is no secret, but hard fact that many of our female folks have their parents forced them into marriages at premature age.<\/p>\n
This also contributes to early and unwarranted marriages, early pregnancies and frequent deaths.<\/p>\n
It is government\u2019s duty to exert watchdog control over its citizens and allow the law to punish persons going against the norms of society.<\/p>\n
The judiciary and police must be compelled to dispense their duties in the interest of national concern and not individual benefit.<\/p>\n
He who lives by the sword must die by it. Rapists must be made to pay for the actions.<\/p>\n
