@@ebrimajobe6535 Dress code is not the root cause. Before the colonisers came, a lot of African tribes used to wear less clothing (traditional clothing), even now in far away villages. Men in those tribes didn't r*pe women and oversexualise them. That was when colonisers came to continent and told us to wear western clothing and teach men to oversexualise women. Is not women fault, is men because they don't think with a brain but with a penis instead. Ironically, men call women emotional, yet men are no rational at all.

If minors are victims too then it clearly has nothing to do with the dressing. Also, I think our African cultures play a role in this because some cultures make females appear to be second class which may bring up a sense of entitlement for the males. My heart goes out to the victims and shout out to the care givers supporting the victims at that centre.

Unfortunately, I have also experienced this victimization. It was not one man, but three who were supposed to protect me, yet they abused me. I was five, 9 and 11 to 16 years when my mother’s cousin, brother and husband abused at those respectively. The saddest part is that my mother, a school head, refuses to acknowledge the issue and instead accuses me of abusing her whenever I try to bring it up. It is disheartening to see how common this is in African society, where young children are sexually violated due to dangerous beliefs such as the idea that sleeping with a child can cure HIV/AIDS or that it can bring fortune and wealth. This cycle of abuse and silence needs to be broken for the safety and well-being of all children.

I want to say sooooo many thing…..this is sad. But the biggest thing is that the culture condones it by brushing the assault under the rug. There are so many sympathizers, even among the women, who continue to allow the predators to still be around the family, lurk, and attend family gatherings. Why? Generational curse…..because if you check, most women in that family unit have been raped or sexual abuse. Some battle with cognitive dissonance Stockholm syndrome and teach the victims to overlook or ignore the trauma. Thus, the cycle continues…. It's so bad I've seen women and families in the States perpetrate the same behavior and have the victims succumb to the continuous reminder of the traumatic event by allowing the predators to continue to be around the family. Sad!! So, if we are going to talk about this, let's dig deep and diagnose the symptoms by addressing the attitudes and beliefs. And how most but not all don't believe in therapy. …..the saga continues….you will be soo surprised how many enlightened young adults or older men or women who have stayed far away from their families/Sierra Leone or have a fear of visiting the country because of this ongoing problem. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Prayers up

The VICTIM, especially children cannot be blamed for the sins of adults. Children who are raped have torn fissures that get infected. When children are blamed the rapist gets away.

Watched from the USA. A great expose, very revealing and I pray it can affect some change. Really we men around the world need to become real men, and stop blaming the female power for our weaknesses to resist temptation. What a girl wears or does can never be an excuse to rape her, especially if she is a young teen or younger. So easy to blame others for any and everything that our own conscience should moderate and control. In the USA these are all serious crimes, and it is sad that this African nation and so many others on the Continent have such limited resources to provide for justice. One thing I would recommend for sure is to have a national marshal - a national police unit dedicated to finding and apprehending perpetrators any and every where in the country. In the US, we have the US Marshal service that works with local police in such manhunts.

So you're saying our women should wear whatever they want and not according to the religion or cultural beliefs of the society, you're mean let us apprehend the rapist but also telling our girls are free to chose whatever they want! That's totally wrong we have been here with dignity and mutual respect for women and men there was no bbc and there was no rapist gone unpunished so stop telling half truth

@@farabathanmoalimmohamed8373this dress argument is a cop out. the reality of what you’re saying is that men who do these terrible things are too weak to control their own bodies and impulses. i don’t think you understand just how much of an insult to your own kind that really is. really think about what you’re saying. because these people can’t control themselves and their urges, it gives them the right to wreak havoc on women and children? notor so now.

True disgusting and wicked this evil rape on a child still in nappy. The country of my birth Sierra Leone has so much mountains to overcome. Unfortunately rape and sex abuse towards children, teenage and women are nothing new, what's new is individuals like Anita had found the courage to speak up. I pray that she finally got justice for her daughter.

thank you for the film and the topic raised! what I hear from men in the movie: "its girls fault that they dress such a way that men can not control themselves". It is called victimization. The victim is blamed for being in wrong dress, in a wrong place, in wrong time, etc, etc... The problem is inside each man and in the system. The society does not punish violence, the family violence is every day norm, and abuser is not required to repent publicly for the abuse or rape - there the problem lies. As long as there is no culture of respect for Human dignity, for Human Rights, - there will be no understanding whose fault it is. Feeling of guilt for committing a crime and punishment for criminal that come through court system must be thought in school as well as mathematics or biology. There is no other way to change mentality...

Men need to understand a young girl can’t determine how her body matriculates when she is young, that is not in her control. Additionally, the government should be ashamed at how they keep the police quarters and resources put in place to help their citizens. It’s almost a lost cause, because the people put in place to help don’t have adequate resources to help the community they serve. That is ridiculous!! The entire justice system needs a reboot. This was hard to watch and digest.
