Sexual violence

After sexual violence, reclaiming power

As a six-year-old girl, Editar Ochieng was sexually abused. At the age of 16, she was gang raped. When she was 26, Editar founded the Feminist for Peace Rights and Justice Centre in Kibera, an organisation supporting survivors of sexual and other forms of violence in the community. Ahead of International Women's Day 2021, we are celebrating the achievements of women leaders and sharing their demands for a better post COVID-19 world. See their stories here.
