Dr Nyambura has been keeping tabs on issues violence and her collection of cases of violence against girls and women reads like a catalogue from hell. SPEAK OUTThe WCC website that Dr Nyambura shared with this writer describes gender-based violence as “a tragic reality” in every country. “This violence is frequently hidden and victims are often silent, fearing stigma and further violence,” says WCC. “I’m campaigning ‘towards a world without rape and violence.’”Sub-editor Judy Ogecha supports the campaign “because rape and violence do great damage to women’s and girls’ self-esteem and should be stopped at all costs”.
