Women all over Kenya are currently on a "sex strike".They hope that by denying sex to their partners for seven days they can stop the infighting which has plagued the national unity government in Kenya.What started as a movement by female activist groups has spread far and wide, recently being endorsed by Ida Odinga, wife of Kenyan Prime Minister, Raila Odinga.Sex has been used as a political weapon in the past. During Liberia's 14 year long civil war, fighting was successfully halted by a small band of women who took on the warlords, armed with the threat to withhold sex.Have you ever used sex as a bargaining chip? Do you think this kind of peaceful protest is right or effective?Send us your comments.Source: BBC
