NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Thousands of Kenyan women vowed Wednesday to begin a weeklong sex strike to try to protest their country's bickering leadership, which they say threatens to revive the bloody chaos that convulsed the African country last year.

Leaders from Kenya's largest and oldest group dedicated to women's rights, the Women's Development Organization, said they hope the boycott will persuade men to pressure the government to make peace.

There
Must have been a war in our house for years then!

This could be the formation of an efficient model to be utilized internationally ...not to mention the by product of land/wildlife conservation. Go Kenyan Women!

I have always thought the Kenyan women, out of necessity, were the most responsible people in the country. I have so often seen the women physically building their homes, cooking, going for water, tending their children, putting in gardens, taking care of the goats and cows while the men sat on their butts talking. The concept of sharing workloads hasn't caught up in Africa yet.

I noted in yesterday's paper that even Ida Odinga is going to participate in the boycott. If enough women participate it just might have some effect. I just hope is doesn't cause more domestic violence.

A very intelligent and peaceful way to stress topics!

Hope the outcome will be bearable

A hooker stated last night if nurses, doctors etc. join - they also go on strike

Sounds as if Kenyan men are facing a tough time
