A Case Of Rape In Kenya.
Auma | August 17, 2008 at 9:55 AMTwo girls were today raped in Naivasha,and stabbed severally by a knife after that,leaving them with several deep knife stabs on their backs.One is a 23 year old girl and the other is 13.Before this act,they were badly caned by the man.They are ailing at the Naivasha Hospital...
Residents of Naivasha say that the man always has his way of getting out of the police station...
This insecurity is terrible.Can we,in my imagination,have a desk that follows up the cases when they are still hot,takes stories and pictures,and make a remote follow up of the both parties,and let the world hear how these cases end up?
I am sure even in this case,this "man" may get away with it,like in several other cases.A dead end will come for the family....More should be done than than ever before.As always,women suffer the most abuse,and this must stop.
Leah.
Absolutely
Leah,
Yes, absolutely. Let's sound the call. Draw attention to the pure evilness of this crime. We will wrap our virtual arms around these two women to help them heal.
How else can the community support them?
Love,
jennifer
Yes, please tell us Leah
Yes, please tell us Leah what we can do to offer support. Let's rally and bring attention to this horrible event.
its horrible
Dear Leah

Its sad
Dear Leah
We have to do whatever it takes to bring this horrible situation to an end.
Human rights and judicial system should give a helping hand to all countries to end these evil doings. Women and girls have rights to legal protection which will enable them to live comfortably, safely and peacefully.

Is there an entity to whom
Is there an entity to whom to send letters to let them know that the women are very much cared about and that we expect justice for them?
It's not only a violation
It's not only a violation against women, but also a violation against a child. One of the victims is only 13. A applaud these young women for surviving, and I hope we at Worldpulse, can not only help them heal, but also discover the most effective ways to bring justice to them.

Let us Put Up Forces Together!
Thank you everybody for showing concern.
Rape is the biggest form of abuse,and a greater percentage to women.I have seen boys and men undergo the same abuse too,but to a lesser percentage.It is an abuse that leaves a bad scar on rhe victim forever.We should join forces to say NO.Recntly there was violence in Kenya,strife that left many people raped,and many dead.Why should these people be given amnesty,to continue living in the community with the same people they abused?
It is quite shameful that when these,i call them...i don't know what to call them,want to vent out their anger,or show "power",we have to undergo this kind of abuse,suffering in the society!
Can we have an International desk,a desk that we can all run to when we are in danger?A desk where we can make our distress calls?A desk that can help us follow up cases of sexual abuse from the beginning to the end? A solution should be found,by all of us.Let us not leave it all to the Law Makers,they may be too busy making "more important" laws.
Leah Auma Okeyo.
Unity is Power
Dear Auma
What a brilliant idea,obviously to have an international desk is the answer to our problem.
Let us join hands and work together. I look forward to working with you. I believe where there is a will there is way.
