Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf marches with thousands in capital to protest rape [1]

MONROVIA, Liberia –  Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and thousands of citizens marched through the main streets of Monrovia Monday to denounce rape which has remained a problem in the West African country since the civil war ended 10 years ago.

Sirleaf, dressed in a purple suit, told the Associated Press as she marched that she and others were "marching for a purpose, to stop violence against women. We are marching for a cause."

Thousands of people lined Monrovia's main Tubman Boulevard as the march brought the center of the capital city to a standstill.
