Vagina assault: Our institutions are weak and discriminatory – Angela Dwamena
Ghana’s state institutions are 'weak and
discriminatory' because they lack the objectivity
in dealing with cases when it involves prominent
and insignificant people in our society, lawyer
and gender activist Angela Dwamena Aboagye has
stated.

Commenting on a mob action against a lady who
allegedly stole an amount of GHC 1,100 in the
Kejetia, Angela Dwamena Aboagye expressed
dissatisfaction with the Ghana Police Service and
other key state institutions on the lackluster
approach to dealing with the perpetrators of the
vile act. She abhorred the act by the security
apparatus to prioritize other violent acts over
similar ones against women describing it as bias.

On February 17, a young lady accused of having
stolen GHS 1,100 was stripped naked, beaten,
groped and paraded barefooted on the streets of
Kejetia in Kumasi in the Ashanti Regional capital
by an irate crowd. Videos and pictures taken show
how the lady was sexually assaulted with some
members of the crowd inserting their fingers and
toes into the lady's genitals.

“It’s more of a society that we think we can
do whatever we want and get away with it. Our
institutions are weak and discriminatory. I mean
if something happens to somebody who is very
important, the amount of attention we give to that
is very different to somebody who is not so
important”, Angela Dwamena Aboagye asserted.

She urged the police to take up the mantle of
fighting violence perpetrated against people
especially women accused of committing an offence
by implementing and enforcing education with other
collaborators to deter people from such acts.
