Kibera Women

Yesterday I ran my first workshop with seven women who had suffered during the 2007 post-election violence. They are doing a lot to build peace in their homes and in their communities in the hopes of avoiding a repeat in the coming weeks. We spent the day together, talking about their experiences, the concept of peace and what is means to them individually and what they are doing in their homes and communities to promote peace. We worked on a group project that reflected their perceptions of their community before 2007, during the violence of 2007/08, what things had changed from 2008 - 2012 (perhaps the calm before the election of 2013 when they feel tribal tensions are rising again) and their hopes and dreams for the future after the election.  These women are all from different tribes, had never met before and are courageous! They worked as a group and individually.
It was  great day  . . here are a couple of images

Today I will go to visit a group of women who are sex trade workers!
