Mr. President, Fix Your Rape Flyer
Where has your “Feminist in Chief” cape been when Liberian women dressed in Black every Thursday for the last few years to call attention to this issue? Where was it yesterday and today, August 25 & 26, 2020, when hundreds of protestors came to give you our petition to end rape in Liberia and you were nowhere to be found, even though you were informed beforehand?

The Issue with “Case Study” in Research Paper.
One major discussion we somehow have neglected to have or perhaps have not recognized as a problem, especially for senior students at universities who have “met the requirements to graduate,” is whether they have actually met all requirements to graduate. In universities across Liberia and the world, the last thing that qualifies a student for graduation is their ability to write and present your research paper before a panel so as to convince them that your research is founded in facts and reasonable inferences/conclusions.

We underestimate what we do with our lives and overestimate the mere fact that we are breathing, not realizing a good life is measured by the quality and not how long it was. Continue Reading

Rape Culture, Explained
There is no denying the existence of the inhumane culture, that is the Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) culture, within the Liberian society. The recent multiplicity of victim stories online is further proof. “Rape Culture,” as it is commonly referred to amongst young Liberians, excludes a wide range of harmful behaviors that are just as damaging. So frequently, we hear “bor at least he na rape her”, as if harassment and other exploitative actions are acceptable offenses. They aren’t.
