A 15-year-old rape survivor faces 100 lashes. That’s right, instead of protecting her, the authorities are going to flog her in public! But if we threaten Maldives ministers’ big money maker -- tourism -- we can stop this outrage.



The girl was allegedly raped by her stepfather and others for years and her stepfather murdered the baby she bore. Now the court is punishing her for “sex outside marriage”! But we can force President Waheed to save this girl, and change the law to spare other victims this fate.



Winning this battle can help women everywhere, as the Maldives is running for a top UN human rights position. With a million-strong petition standing with the young victim to abolish flogging and stamp out sexual violence, we’ll threaten their lucrative tourist trade through word of mouth and through hard-hitting ads in travel magazines and holiday websites.
