Women And Children Of Kenya

According to ICRtoP, the Democratic Republic of Congo is reported to be the “rape capital of the world” with an estimated 15,000 rape cases in the Congo’s eastern provinces alone. Rape is a tool of war used by the various armed forces in the Congo in order to “create instability in

Even though, Kristof realizes the complexity of the problems, the authors still develop on practical ways to aid women. The authors stress the involvement of individuals in human rights matters. To emphasize their point, Kristof interviews a light-skinned black girl from Ethiopia, Woineshet. Woineshet tells the authors that she lived in a rural area where if a young man wants to marry certain girl, but does not have the “bride price” at hand, or the family won’t accept him, he could just kidnap the girl, and then rape her – it is the tradition, says Woineshet. Because women are raped, they will have difficulty marrying anyone else. To make matters worse, Ethiopian law

The survey highlights those who are suffering from violence each year. As one of the major pillars, national surveys and data are used to document the impact of physical, emotional, and sexual violence against children. VACS is a data collection that helps to identify the key issues with violence among young children. Surveys are collected from Malawi, Cambodia, Kenya, Swaziland, Haiti and Tanzania. These datasets are prepared by the Division of Violence Prevention at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although it is available to the public, permission is still needed from the respective country governments (TGF, 2017). Every year, the program develops the stakeholder report which puts together the collected data from the VACS. It compares the rates of sexual violence, experiences of violence before the age of 18, and the first sexual intercourse that was unwanted from different countries (TGF, 2017). This stage of evaluation leads to the second major pillar which is program response and development. Campaigns and developing goal advocacy helps to build public awareness. It identifies the target population and how often the victims were exposed to

Of significance, Congolese aid works admit to knowing that women, the clinic treated, were lying to gain access to free medical care when they came into the clinic. The motivation the lie about being raped is not limited to medical care, but women gained access to "food aid, education programs, and credit facilities." Sexual violence as a weapon of

However, the aid organization's argument does not account how desperately these women need help from international aid organizations. However, the argument centered on culture is narrow and does not allow for aid organizations to truly access the situation of women in Congo. There were cultural changes within Congo during years of war, that had a history of violence against women. Never the less, women and communities understood that the story of rape was a way to access international aid, and a way to protect women. There were other communities that knew they could protect women who truly were raped, by having most women in the meaning that other women would lie. Warner. The Congo We Listen To. (2017).

Sierra Leone has seen a lot of human rights infringement for the past several decades. As a result of both the export of conflict diamonds and the ongoing civil war that they fund, women both young and old have been subject to terrible mistreatment as part of their daily life. Large social and economic costs have wreaked havoc on Sierra Leone and its citizens as a direct result of the diamond trade. Women in Sierra Leone, and young girls in particular, are born into the world already disadvantaged. They are routinely disrespected and mistreated, with little hope for positive change. Society prevents them from pursuing education, employment, opportunities for personal growth and even basic human rights.

According to (WHO, 2002) & (Obote-Odora, 2005, p135), sexual violence is not limited rape, but a person conducting a sexual act on another person via coercion. Sexual violence can relate to violence psychologically and physically and this is aimed at the sexuality of a person and this could include forced acts such as sexual slavery and prostitution. Sexual violence is prevalent in peace and armed conflict scenarios. This is regarded as traumatic, pervasive a common violation that people suffer from. This is a grave health and human rights issue that affects the individual mentally and physically in the short term as well as the long term. Though women and girls suffer disproportionately from sexual violence, it can happen to anyone from any age. This can be caused and the

For about 40,000 people including women who were sexually abused by the rebel forces were then treated by a man named Doctor Denis Mukwege, he has run funding communities for this sexual violence act to end for the safety of his country. His main focus for his work is to treat for those in need and to end gang rape as a war weapon in his country. Greetings everyone, I am grateful to have the opportunity to represent why Doctor Denis Mukwege is worthy enough to have this Nobel Peace Prize.

In order to explain the significance of women during the Kenyan Emergency of the 1950’s, Millicent Whitemore composed a powerful argument that highlighted the importance that women played in the Mau Mau Movement against the British colonial government. By contrasting the traditional views of women with the critical roles they played during the conflict, Whitemore showed just how incredibly important women were in the Movement. With the use of an abundance of sources and firsthand accounts, Whitemore created not only a credible and valid argument, but also a more convincing and persuading one as well. As such, the author has developed and formed an effective argument highlighting the importance of women during the Mau Mau movement with the strong

Trafficking for sexual exploitation in Sub-Saharan Africa may be an added reason for the region's HIV/AIDS pandemic. The World Health Organization (as cited in Adepoju, 2008) reported that Sub-Saharan Africa had 25.8mil of its population living with HIV/AIDS. Additionally, UNODC (2008) stated that many of the trafficked Nigerian girls who escaped and sought protection from NGOs and the church did medical checks and it was found that nearly 80% of the sexually exploited women tested had HIV. Unhappily, trafficked women work without the use of condom most times against their wishes to gratify their traffickers and clients, if victims resist not using a condom they are raped and tortured (UNODC, 2008). Despite the risk, many traffickers

Being brutally tortured is another issue in Kenya. People have just gotten progressively worse about this in the world. Torturing happened back in the stone ages, people used to be pulled apart limb by limb or even stoned to death. The point of torturing is to cause as much pain as possible for the victim either for the one torturing them or to do it for something that the victim has done. Either way it is very sickening. In Kenya gang

Africa is one of the most underdeveloped and poorest continents in the world. More specifically Kenya is one of the poorest countries out of all of the continents. It is said that in Africa having psychological trauma such as PTSD has become the norm. To make matters worst, almost half of Kenyans are below poverty with a life expectancy of about 54 and an enormous birthrate. With the birthrate being so high, most of the populations of Kenyans are children. On the other hand, because of the lack of money, Kenya has become the 9th highest place where disease is present in the world.

As one of the longest running state collapses, Somalia faces many of the major corruption challenges that affect conflict- torn countries, with widespread corruption and a deeply established patronage system undermining the legitimacy of the FGS. Corruption is further exacerb

Social and traditions factors in Tanzania, kept women mainly in danger with the violence directed to them, and this is because there is no gender equality between men and woman. Gender equality includes economical and social forces. And also in the family where by power belongs to a husband only, and not to both partners there for the traditional factors in Tanzania denies women and children and indirectly has supported the domestic violation of women in the country. Statement of the problem When a person is doing research on this topic, it's not easy to get the complete information, and get correct statistics about violence against women. The victims are not willing to give the information they have for the fear of revealing their identity in the society, so this becomes a problematic. It is important that more education should be given to women in Tanzania about their rights against violation, and more research should be conducted in order to get enough information, which will be usefully when one comes to give recommendation or opinion to the problem.

According to Creighton & Yieke (2006), women in Kenya constitute a subordinate, disadvantaged and muted group who are routinely treated as inferior and who face coerced sex, harmful cultural practices, stigma and discrimination. Their inferior legal status in relation to marriage inheritance, guardianship, property ownership, places them in disadvantaged position economically and politically.
