End of Colombia’s gang bang?
Wives and girlfriends of gang members in one of Colombia’s most violent cities have called a sex ban in a bid to get their men to give up the gun.
Dozens of women are said to be taking part in what is being called the “strike of crossed legs”, a move backed by the mayor of Pereira.The city in Colombia’s coffee-growing region reported 480 killings last year.
A city official said the idea came from a meeting of wives and girlfriends over the progress of a disarmament scheme.
Heh. I don’t know that I’d be willing to go to such extremes just to save lives and bring peace, but what the heck. Good for them.
But what do you want to bet that rapes and sexual assaults increase? Just sayin’.
One of the girlfriends, Jennifer Bayer, told Britain’s Guardian newspaper: “We want them to know that violence is not sexy.”
