An initiative has been launched on Facebook to commemorate the heroes and heroines of Libya, from 1969 till the end of the war of 2011.
This definition includes the fallen martyrs, the injured, the imprisoned and of course the missing.
Great idea to celebrate and honour these people's sacrifices ! However, where do our raped women stand? they have sacrificed too for Libya and their blood is just as precious and should not go in vain.
Males have been raped too, but females have it harder and are unable to reintegrate into society ( if they have survived the experience).
We need to acknowledge their sacrifice and give them medals of honour too! This would be one step towards helping remove the wrong stigma associated with 'dishonour and/or loss of virginity' which was absolutely none of their fault.
