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?
