We work with girls in this kind of situation, schools. We also work in Kibera, its not very different from Kariobangi. Korogocho, Kayole, Huruma, all these are ghettos.

In one of Nairobi's poorest neighbourhoods, where women are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence, they're learning not just to speak out but also to fight back. STORYLINE Hundreds of women take to the streets demanding an end to sexual violence in the Kenyan capital Nairobi. They're angry after several women claimed they were recently raped at one of the countries public hospitals. Sexual violence in Kenya often goes unpunished.
