Isabelle Ameganvi

Isabelle Ameganvi is a Togolese lawyer and politician. She was elected to the National Assembly of Togo in the 2007 parliamentary election, representing the Union of Forces for Change (UFC).[1][2] She is leader of the women's rights division of the group Let's Save Togo.[3]

At a rally on 26 August 2012, attended by thousands of people, she called the women of Togo to a week-long sex-strike against recent electoral reforms, which would make it easier for the ruling president Faure Gnassingbe's party to win re‑election in the parliamentary polls scheduled for October 2012.[4] The Gnassingbe family has ruled Togo for 45 years.
