The impact of COVID-19 on education was nothing short of staggering. The very foundations of our educational systems were shaken, and young girls, in particular, have borne the brunt of its consequences. #KeepGirlsInSchool#BakhitaPartnership
Very very powerful stories being shared at the @bakhitaafrica Indaba. Very painful stories from survivors of child rape (including by close family members) but very powerful stories of healing and being inspired to use their experience to advocate for others.
@brenda__karimi describing fighting a child sexual abuser in court: “I lost the case in court, but I won the case in the village.” Though she lost the case in the judicial system, she shone a light on the issue in her village and exposed the alleged (repeat) perpetrator.
We are intentionally having this conversation so that we don't make same mistakes twice.
