International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival
Glasgow | 21–25 October 2009
Wednesday 22 October
Launch Night
Between 1970 and 2003, about 1600 local women claimed to have been raped by British soldiers stationed in Northern Kenya. Many were beaten and rejected by their husbands as having brought shame on their community.
In 1990, a few such women gathered and created Umoja, a village forbidden to men, which rapidly became a refuge for those in a similar plight. Since then, jealous men have frequently attacked Umoja and created many problems for Rebecca Lolosoli, its founder and matriarch.
