posted (December 11, 2013)

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will meet, and the Rape Bill, which generated much controversy, will go through its second and third reading.

The Special Envoy for Women and Children, Kim Simplis Barrow, today sent out a statement saying that she will mobilize students to attend tomorrow’s House Meeting. 

The Bill went through its first reading on September 27, and following a firestorm of controversy from the church, it went through intense consultations and revisions to reach its final draft, which will be tabled before the House tomorrow.
