Young Liberians are preparing to march on the Capitol on Thursday, demanding real action to stop the rise in rape and gender‑based violence. Despite a national emergency declared in 2020, cases continue to climb, and activists say survivors still face intimidation, delays, and unequal justice. Youth organizers want lawmakers to show concrete results—stronger investigations, fairer prosecutions, better survivor services, and renewed political will to treat rape as the national crisis it remains.
