Checkout what Senator Florence Ita-Giwa Says should be done to Rapists
Senator Florence Ita-Giwa is a woman to be reckoned with when it comes to the issue of the girl child. This time she has advocated the cutting off of the genitals of child-rapists.
She spoke as a special guest at ‘Magnenta and Black Art
and Fashion for Charity’, a fund raising exhibition for Mirabel Centre,
held at the British Council, Lagos.
Reacting
to accounts of rape by two survivors at the event, the senator said:
“The lady said she was happy that she got justice for her four-year-old
daughter who was raped by two men but, in my mind, if I were a judge and
a man is brought to court for raping a child, he will receive capital
punishment. But I will say, `don’t kill him, rather let him live his
life in pain, let his organ be cut off’.
“He
should not be allowed the pleasure of using that organ anymore. If the
organ is not cut off, at the end of his term in prison, he will use it
on other children. Fortunately for them, I’m no longer in the Senate but
I will find a way to get it into the chamber. This is the proper way to
end the evil of rape in the society”.
Also
speaking, the Managing Partner at Partnership for Justice and Founder
Mirabel Centre, Mrs Itoro Eze-Anaba, said that the situation had reached
a stage that girls are no longer safe in their homes since fathers and
uncles rape them.
“Rape
is not a girls’ or women’s issue, it is a community issue because boys
are also being raped daily. The implication is that if we do not end it,
the abused may end up as an abuser and a time will come when the
society will be filled with abusers”, she said.
