Valence Awuor* 13, recalls the day she left home after her step-father defiled her.
Two days after the incident, her mother told her to carry a bucket of bathing water to the bathroom for her step-father. Instead of simply thanking her for performing the chore, as a father would, he threatened her.
“He told me to refute everything I had told my mother a day before otherwise, I was going to have problems with him,” Awuor narrates.
