Anyango (not her real name) was only 16 years old when her step father raped her in Kisumu County. Her step dad did this inhumane act to her when her mother had left for the market. He ordered her to take off her clothes and raped her. He warned her that if she dared scream or told her mother or anyone about what had happened, he would kill both of them. He told her that she wasn’t her daughter and that she only came with her mother so he had nothing to lose.
Anyango never said a word to her mother or anyone else. She kept it to herself. For the first 3 weeks things seemed okay. Although she was being tormented from the inside, Anyango acted as if everything was okay. She went to school on time, did her assignments on time and was active in class as always.
