The Member of Parliament for Guan Constituency, Fred Agbenyo, has called on women in areas affected by the ongoing tribal conflict in Bawku to take inspiration from the Greek play "Lysistrata" and declare a sex strike.
According to the legislator, such action has become necessary owing to the failure of the men involved in the violent conflict to see the need to foster peaceful coexistence instead of actively participating in the fight. "For the men who have declared themselves warlords and insist on fighting, I don't get it.
I think on this platform, I have said it before; it may be an unpopular position, and those who will vilify me have already done so, but it has happened before.
I read a Greek play, Lysistrata, and the men would all the time go about fighting wars, and one day a woman got up and said, 'You know what?' She called all the women and said they should embark on a sex strike.
