In some communities girl child has a long way to go before they can feel safe.
Yesterday i was watching a documentary based on Northern part of Kenya. These communities are mainly pastoralists and are yet to adapt to the modern world. The documentary was about men raping girls and having to go free. The girls in question are too young some even 2 years old. When these men rape them a group of elders meet and decide the fate of the man. All that he has to do is to pay some cattle and that is it. Women have no say and so they watch as their little girls suffer.
I am feeling so disgusted by this. What do county governments do in these areas

@Missmwngi I can't imagine how a two year old would survive that.

@just4him It must be too painful and it will be more painful when they grow up to realize what was done to them

@Mike197602 Not really? You know when you see too much negative and no positive you might end up thinking all is negative

@Missmwngi from what I've seen on the news many places in Kenya are getting dangerous now.
Is that right?

@dengcaijun We got stricked laws here as well but then the leaders in that area seem to think girls are less human beings

You had my stomach churning. I feel sick reading this. Such people...no not people. They don't deserve to be called that. Such things don't even get a place in hell. Hell is too good a place for them.

I tell you,my feelings as well. What is even more sickening is the father to these daughters. They care more about the goats and cows they get rather than what their daughters will go through
