No Men Allowed!

[kangeiko]

When Rebecca Lolosoli started talking about helping some of the women raped in Sumburu district, Kenya, the men where she lived beat her and tried to kill her. Her husband did nothing. So she left.

And instead of running away, instead of giving up, she set up a women-only village: Umoja Village.

Read the interview with Rebecca. (hat-tip: african_studies).

Wow. That is...kind of awesome, actually.

I'm a little sad, though. The online shop where you can donate to their cause 404s. :-(

I know. :( I'm trying to find someplace that sends them funding so I can donate via them instead.
