After her dream of impregnating her bank account with $1 million was exterminated by President Mahama, Victoria Hammah went silent. Even though she has been so quiet, the glue on her lips was not strong enough to keep her mute on the abusive punishment meted out to the Legon Students who shoplifted panties at Mr. Price and a woman who was stripped naked for indiscriminate expose according to those who did that.
Below is what he wrote on Facebook condemning the two incidences;
“This week has awakened Ghana to another horrid story of gender – based violence. A young woman was stripped naked in the Northern Region of Ghana and three women were subjected to crawl on their knees at the Accra Mall allegedly for stealing.
These two incidences which witnessed young Ghanaian women subjected to assault and public humiliation is an unfortunate reflection of the endemic reality of violence against women in our society.
57 years after Ghana has obtained a self – determination government, a struggle that was fought by both women and men, youth and adult, rich and poor, the Ghanaian woman is yet to experience her independence as a free citizen whose fundamental human rights enshrined in the constitution must be respected!
These two isolated incidences is a shame and must be condemned by all right thinking Ghanaians!
The abuse of one woman is an abuse to all women!”

The girls were wrong to have stolen from the Shop. The Shop was wrong to have meted such instant punishment to them…Tell it to them both.
