Intervene with the Maldives Government to prevent the flogging of a rape survivor.

Created by J.K. on March 21, 2013

A 15-year-old rape survivor has been sentenced to be whipped 100 times in public! Let's put an end to this lunacy. Call the Maldives government and advise them the United States Government will not stand by and allow this to happen.

The girl's stepfather is accused of raping her for years and murdering the baby she bore. Now the court says she must be flogged for “sex outside marriage”! President Waheed of the Maldives is already feeling global pressure on this, and we can force him to save this girl and change the law to spare other victims this cruel fate. This is how we can end the War on Women – by standing up every time an outrage like this happens.
If President Waheed refuses to act, send the 101st and 82nd Airborne to bring the girl to the US.
