The Issue

Did you know that according the the Ghana 1992 constitution, a man or any adult of the male gender cannot be a victim of rape or sexual abuse? 

Section 97 of the criminal act offences, act 1960 (act 29) defines rape as "the carnal  knowledge of a FEMALE not less than sixteen years without her consent" 

What happens to the helpless men who get taken advantage of, by predators? 

How many young men have been subjected to nonconsensual sex? 

As a society, what's our general response to men or boys who speak about their abuse ordeals? 

Its time for a change, we need your voice! Change starts now, with you and I. 

The constitution needs to be amended. We need to encourage conversations and allow men to speak out. Everyone deserves to be protected against abuse of any form, regardless of their gender. 

Act Now!!!

Speak Now!!!

Amend the constitution Now!!!
