Philip Davis

politician Bahamas

Philip Davis is the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, having taken office in September 2021. He has faced scrutiny from opposition figures like Senator Michela Barnett Ellis for his government's handling of women's rights issues, particularly regarding the criminalization of marital rape. Davis has previously stated that 'rape is rape,' yet his administration has been criticized for its perceived lack of political will to enact comprehensive legislation to protect women and girls from violence.
