Hundreds of women in Ivory Coast took to the streets of Abidjan on Saturday to protest a surge of violence against women, in a country where 800 women reported rapes in 2020.
The movement, dubbed "Offensive Orange", saw more than 2,000 women march against rape in the Ivorian economic capital, calling it "a weapon of mass destruction with side effects spanning many lives and generations".
"Time up for rapists!" said the Ivorian women's minister Nasseneba Toure, who was flanked at the front of the march by the EU's ambassador to Ivory Coast and a UN women's representative. Nearly 2,500 cases of violence against women were recorded in 2019 and 2020 in Abidjan alone, according to a study by an NGO published last month.
