The story went around the world and and set off huge protests in India. But the number of reported rapes in the country has never been higher than today and according to a recent study by Reuters Foundation India is the most dangerous country in the world for women. This feature is the story about indian womens fight for change. Physically, verbally and legally. It is a story about trauma, anger, resistance and hope. The story consist of a personal account from Sanju who was gangraped by 12 men and a reportage with Sharan, who is a self defence instructor in New Delhi, ,men in the state of Haryana("hell on earth for women") and two students from a university, who participated in a big protest when a fellow female student was sexually attacked on campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51290c8fe4b006d82fb8a5b2/1528036378295-SOQFB6IXIYXOWQQITUHY/Yunarmy-+Love+for+Russia001.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51290c8fe4b006d82fb8a5b2/1615925182449-7BEIZYD72XF19KPMQZJO/Safe+House001.JPG Projects Rape and sexual violence against young girls is a massive problem in Kenya. When the national Ministry of Labour and Social Protection in 2019 questioned teenage girls (13-17 years), almost one in seven said they had experienced sexual violence within the past year. Of the girls who had ever had sex, one third of them said their first sexual experience was pressured or physically forced. The consequences reported are serious: teenage pregnancies as a result of assaults, girls missing out on school, mental distress and thoughts of suicide. The Maisha safe house in Nairobi, Kenya, is a place where a small number of these teenage girls are being rescued. A home where they can begin to feel safe, regain strength, help each other and build dreams for the future. The girls often come from the slums in Nairobi. Many have been abused by someone in the family or by someone in their closest environment. Some of the girls fear for their lives, as the families are ashamed of what has happened and will do anything to prevent the truth from coming out. For others, the assault has also left them with a baby to raise and keep safe. What is Kenya’s problem is also the problem of a continent that by 2100 will make up half the world’s population. According to a WHO-study almost half the women of Africa experience violence and/or sexual violence making Africa the most dangerous region for women in the world. Various analyses have stressed the social and economic benefits of ending the violence and empowering Africas women. The house Maisha Girls is founded by social worker Florence Keya. She has grown up in the slums and has been confronted with the consequences of sexual assaults all her life. At first, she let the abused girls spend the night in her own home, but it quickly filled up. Florence therefore moved to a smaller place with her daughter and gave her house to the girls. Today, there are 20 girls and 5 babies. However, half the girls live at their school and are only home during holidays. Here, it is Agnus 11 years (left) and Janet 16 years. They live with seven other girls in a small room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51290c8fe4b006d82fb8a5b2/1572085670194-8V9VRXN8L2O8DO02KCO3/Noha.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51290c8fe4b006d82fb8a5b2/1615924919467-KGHUVR7WAMGNOLNVJ1LC/De+%C3%A6ndrede+Danmark01.JPG Projects Sofie Linde, 31 år, underholdningsvært I sommeren 2020 sad underholdningsværten Sofie Linde og en lille redaktion i hendes have. De skrev på en tale til hendes åbning af Zulu Comedy Awards den 26. august. De havde sat sig for, at scenen og mikrofonen denne gang skulle bruges til noget, der var større end underholdning. Hun ville forklare alle, at der er forskel på mænd og kvinder, selv om den debat ikke fylder meget i Danmark. Det blev til mange versioner af talen, mens datoen nærmede sig. Korte, lange, sjove, grove. Da hun holdt den endelige version, blev den startskuddet på en ny kvindebevægelse, der skriver sig ind i historiebøgerne. De næste fire måneder væltede det frem med beretninger om seksuelle krænkelser og problemer med manglende ligestilling. Bevægelsen var så kraftfuld, at den vil blive husket for eftertiden, ligesom de kvinder, som kæmpede for stemmeret i 1915, og de senere rødstrømper i 1960' erne bliver det. Sofie Linde er fotograferet på teater Aveny-T på Frederiksberg.

Both boys are the result of rapes. They live alone in a tin shack in the slum settlement Viwandani, Nairobi: “When I got pregnant with my first son, my mother sent me away in shame. I had to go and ask strangers for a place to sleep or something to eat. Then last year, I met a guy who said he wanted to marry me. He forced me to have sex. When I had given birth to our son, he started beating me - and from there on it just got worse and worse. Eventually, I left him and found this little home for us. No one has ever taught me how to care for a child. I just try on my own, and I think I'm doing okay. ” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51290c8fe4b006d82fb8a5b2/1664646331850-D1MFTTDDN7EYQ4D8MQ9J/Daughters+of+Nairobi001.JPG Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51290c8fe4b006d82fb8a5b2/1747053623396-Y6YM1ZWJUFHXH8FKAY33/skolev%C3%A6gring001.jpg Projects https://www.sofiabusk.com/about daily 0.75 2021-03-18
