My name is Elizabeth Atieno and I am a resident of Nairobi’s Mathare slums. I am a gender activist and I participate in creating awareness about sexual violence which came about following my experience during the 2007/2008 post-election violence.

I was only 17-years-old and a form three student when the violence broke out and I ended up being gang raped.
