Now they have a more modern way for stitching girls back up but at the time they used thorns like pins.

Bimpe(Pseudo) was still in a happy mood a day to her 20th birthday when Sule(Pseudo- an acquaintance) invited her to come collect her birthday gift, when she got there, he persuaded her to enter his house, immediately she entered, he locked the door & gave her series of slaps.
After giving her series of slaps, Sule forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.
When Bimpe confronted the rapist & reported him to his family, He liaised with some rogue police officers to frustrate her life as she got arrested twice claiming she tried to defame him.

Quid pro quo
This is when your submission to a sexual act or sexual advances is seen as a condition for either getting a job, a promotion, or any other benefit in your job which you would normally have been entitled to, and should be based on merit.

THREAD to mark UN International day to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen which is today, 25th November, as per UN resolution 54/134. This is the date on which, in 1960, the Mirabal sisters, Dominican Republic activists, were murdered on the order of the Dominican Leader.
2. Why is International Day to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen women still needed? 49 countries have no laws against any violence in a marital/intimate relationship (also known as domestic abuse/violence). In 37, rapists escape prosecution if married to or eventually marry the victim
3. Across the world, including in the UK, women who are killed are more likely to be killed by partner, ex-partner or family member than any other category of person. In UK, two women per week are killed by partner or ex.
