The Rape of the Samburu Women
When Kenya was still a British colony the women in this area faced an epidemic of rape. Even though these rapes were officially claimed, the Royal Military Police cleared all soldiers from wrongdoing. In the mid-1990s, Beatrice Chili responded to this situation by establishing the village of Senchen, a self-sufficient community run entirely by women. There, women build homes, weave textiles, gather and grow food, and raise children. This short film visits the brave women of Senchen, who speak candidly about their suffering and talk passionately about their demands for justice.
