Kakenya is very brave to have the courage and ideas to improve herself and her community. We need more women like her. You have not stopped you have taken the opportunity to educate your community the girls. You are one helluva woman. My website is on building women power.
I love the fact that in a male-oriented society, she found a way to use their rules to get what she wanted. It shows how smart she is...I also applaud the fact that she went back home to make a difference.
@ciccolilli1 "...male circumcision has some good prophylactic medical consequences". Spoken like a true idiot. This is the very argument used also for female circumcision. Again very stupid people like you are missing the point. ANY attempted justification of ANY sort of mutilation is the first step of a slippery slope. ALL mutilation is bad. Try to play down male circumcision as 'Good' and female as bad is not only hypocritical but a sure fire way to keep these practices going.
Boomslang, ...I don't have time to waste on your remark. Women and Men are complimentary. It was created that way. To all the women in the world...Thank you for your compassion, understanding, intelligence and so much more. You make the world a better place.
You are pathetic. Does mommy not love you enough? Wait I know, you are so pathetic every woman you've asked out has denied you (and for good reason); so now you feel you must take your angst out on the Internet. As we all know, the Internet is serious business; especially YouTube.
Nice animation and courageous lady. The conversations below reflect gender-bashing, which is completely counter-productive to such a great cause as this. By the way, the African Proverb is: it takes a village to raise a child. However, I have a better one stated in biblical truth: ...And God made them male and female, both created in His image. Both different, both blessed by God. Now, let's get along shall we? There's a lot more important matters at hand.
@boomslang86 You only further prove my point. Your level of maturity demands you resort to attacks on my sexual integrity and gender stereotype. I won't even begin to take apart your comment as a literal statement.
Furthermore, you're merely trolling this video to infuriate the women who see this and inspire camaraderie in your fellow sexists. Do yourself a favor and stop ruining the male image for those of us who aren't bigamist, uneducated bastards of a run-down society.
@CabeBiken10 Indeed. To build a school just for girls and exclude boys only continues a rather immature gender war, but this time with a Western tint. Dumb, dumb, dumb.... and very shortsighted.
Wow, congratulations, someone in Africa did SOMETHING.
Why the hell should she be praised for doing something so simple.
She has no vital voice, she just became a teacher, wow, amazing, im sooo impressed.
Maybe they should make a video like this for every single kid that went to college and did something with their lives, oh wait, they won't, because everyone likes looking at Africa and telling them how good their doing like their a bunch of kids.
@SpaceMarine2007 She has made an impact on those children's lives whether or not you can see it, she pulled herself out of a hard place and made a local difference instead of being forced into a marriage. Who defines what "vital" voices in this world are? I can tell you that a sexist gamer on the internet certainly doesn't.
the ending soo ruined it for me!!! damn these ppl, all they do is criticise europe and spew distrust towards our ways but then when it comes down to things, she made her P.H.D in Europe/USA and beinglmost probably as 99.9% of all non westerners active in the postcolonial debate. but when she went back she made that school in a western tradition, even the fracking school uniforms, suit and tie? if she were such a great patriot why note colored robes and other traditional fabrics! LOL hypocrits
@DarkJafar Well it seems you thought that through logically and not at all emotionally, didn't you? Ship us off onto an island... yes, I'm sure that would work. You're a man with antediluvian views that is too sexist to accept women being powerful equals with the potential to break man's self-proclaimed omnipotence over women.
Why arn't women in charge if their so importan- Oh wait, thats right, because your irrational and insane 1-3 days out of every month, you try to solve problems emotionally insted of logically, and your too weak to make hard choices that need to be made. Think im wrong? Well too bad, the rest of the world agrees with me, and no matter how much you don't like it, you can't do a damn thing about it but whine and complain.
@SpaceMarine2007 I did not whine and complain. I simply stated what I know to be true. I'm neither irrational nor emotional, and you are incorrect when you label an entire gender. Does my female body identify me as being definitely incapable of making any sort of decision? Remember that "the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual."
@SpaceMarine2007 Then, watch a documentary on those "MEN" who ruled both before and following her rein. Now, I'm not going to be a domineering craphead like yourself and try to force my opinions on you. Instead, why don't you compare and contrast what you have seen. Now, little one, who made better CHOICES as a leader? Are the other two guys even remembered for much today besides fucking up? Oh yeah- and make sure your history (or "herstory") scources werent written by a biased, braindead
@DarkJafar DarkJafar your an ignorant asshole who should never be permitted to speak again, two things... this video was about a positive change that occurred in an African village what does it have to do with women being put into positions of power? and whats the difference, men have the exact same emotions women do we may not show them but that doesn't mean we don't act on them, having emotions is what makes us human in the first place, if we dont act on those emotions then what are we?

Construction of Kakenya's school is not yet complete, although it has been in operation for about a year. Funding is needed to buy the 60+ girls mattresses and bedding in their makeshift dormitory and ultimately for building a proper dormitory. See Kakenya's site through the Vital Voices link and go to "My Journal" and then "News". Their makeshift dorm will be needed for classroom space in January when the next 4th-grade class enters the school. The safety of the girls is at stake.
i liked this video, but i don't get how the people complaining about others not liking it can simply infer they are self centered and ignorant. Maybe they just simply didn't like it or it wasn't what they were expecting to watch. stop trying to act so "touched" by a video then openly criticizing people you don't know.
i don't get how it says on top, that 16 people don't like this video. that is just being self fish and ignorant, D:< people should think more about what is actually happening outside this country and stop thinking about what they think is best for them, but seriously, don't come here and say you don't like the video, because that was inspirational :)
I guess the dichotomy of the 21st century is that cultures like this will increasingly be exposed to western ideas and values. The internet, compact electronics and all sorts of technological innovations are forcing many of these people to examine their own lives and realize that there is something way better out there. We need to encourage this and drag the veil off of oppressive and abusive practices throughout the world.

This is the reality of the culture...we can only bring changes through empowering women through education and becoming self sufficient. The world is full of injustices but one small step at a time....sheida jaffer
she was engaged to get married at age 5 wth im 15 truning 16 and im engaged and every is giving me shit that me and my guy are making a mist tack in getting married and being engaged at this age but yet this girl was engaged at age 5 wtf
@SuperIzzo881 she was forced to be married you have choice. you are still growing and will go through big changes. You should focus in school and try to go to college your not fully grown. If by the time you have graduated college you are still in love then marry but dont marry and find you have changed and are not in love anymore. you are a teen.
Such an inspirational video is sound proof that our strength is driven by our dreams, inspirations, and ambitions. No matter where we are, no matter what conditions of oppression we may be facing, our TRUE strength is within. Once we've come to realize this, NO ONE can ever impede us from reaching our vision.
Heathen531 - you cannot compare circumcision, removal of foreskin, to the horror of female genital mutilation. The clitoris removed greatly lessening the chance of orgasm; she may be sewn up creating a small openin for urine and menstrual fluid. To deliver a baby, she must be reopened then closed again following birth. Analogous for men would be removal of penis and new opening for urination and no orgasms.
she is very impressive

i don't get how it says on top, that 16 people don't like this video. that is just being self fish and ignorant, D:< people should think more about what is actually happening outside this country and stop thinking about what they think is best for them, but seriously, don't come here and say you don't like the video, because that was inspirational :)

I guess the dichotomy of the 21st century is that cultures like this will increasingly be exposed to western ideas and values. The internet, compact electronics and all sorts of technological innovations are forcing many of these people to examine their own lives and realize that there is something way better out there. We need to encourage this and drag the veil off of oppressive and abusive practices throughout the world.

Uh oh, I wonder if the "ceremony" when she was 13 was female circumcision. :|

@frifri99 In most communities I have learned about, female circumsicion occurs when the girl is as young as 6 or 7.

@SuperIzzo881 she was forced to be married you have choice. you are still growing and will go through big changes. You should focus in school and try to go to college your not fully grown. If by the time you have graduated college you are still in love then marry but dont marry and find you have changed and are not in love anymore. you are a teen.

Such an inspirational video is sound proof that our strength is driven by our dreams, inspirations, and ambitions. No matter where we are, no matter what conditions of oppression we may be facing, our TRUE strength is within. Once we've come to realize this, NO ONE can ever impede us from reaching our vision.

Heathen531 - you cannot compare circumcision, removal of foreskin, to the horror of female genital mutilation. The clitoris removed greatly lessening the chance of orgasm; she may be sewn up creating a small openin for urine and menstrual fluid. To deliver a baby, she must be reopened then closed again following birth. Analogous for men would be removal of penis and new opening for urination and no orgasms.
