Her Voice Liberia Condemns Alleged R**e Involving Deputy Minister Bryant McGill, Calls for Suspension and Swift Investigation
Monrovia, Liberia
September 17, 2025
Her Voice Liberia expresses grave concern over reports of an alleged r**e involving the current Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Bryant McGill.
We strongly condemn all forms of sexual and gender-based violence, especially when allegedly perpetrated by individuals in positions of public trust and authority. Such allegations not only harm the survivor but also undermine national efforts to promote gender equality, accountability, and justice in Liberia.
We therefore call on the Government of Liberia to:
• Immediately suspend the Deputy Minister pending the outcome of investigations, in line with principles of accountability and good governance.
• Launch a speedy, impartial, and transparent investigation into the allegations.
• Ensure the survivor’s safety, dignity, and access to justice throughout the process.
• Demonstrate zero tolerance for sexual and gender-based violence at all levels of leadership.
Her Voice Liberia stands in solidarity with survivors of SGBV and remains committed to advocating for a Liberia where women and girls are protected, empowered, and respected. We urge all stakeholders, including civil society, media, and international partners, to closely monitor this case to ensure justice is served without fear or favor.
