Rape on the rise in Kenya after election crisis - 07 Mar 08

New stories of terror are starting to emerge in Kenya, in the wake of the post-election violence that killed more than a thousand people.

During the chaos, women and even children were targeted for rape and sexual assault in the country's slums, refugee camps and even in schools.

It's something a new power-sharing government has pledged to investigate.

Yvonne Ndege has been talking with some of the victims.

i hate rapists, they should be hung by their testicles

[OpiumBellyDance]

No punishment can be great enough in this world for a deed such as that.

Don't judge...Kenyan women are hot. Some even scream with their bodies to be raped. Very fertile. I was in Nairobi and they said, "A lot of men have the bad habit of rape" They consider it a bad habit. Before I went there I thought like all of you, now I can see from their perspective.

@lucy9359 eaxclty,anyone who hurts someone that much should be tortured n killed,muslims r the biggest braindead idiots on the planet,this should be banished,their religion is so fuked up no wonder muslims r so sick n retarded handicaps

@wolfsrain0000 it is not to do with liking them they rape them as an act of war and humiliation...to rape a woman is not to like her it is to hate her you must be muslim to need that explained to you...

[lucy9359]

@wolfsrain0000 why would you say that it seems to me that the ringing true reality of this is that it is considered an act of war amongst muslim nations to rape woman...this is predominantly statistically where this is what is happening....they some how see it as a their revenge on the other tribes...

[lucy9359]

anyone who rapes woman or children should be casterated period...this will solve their problem

[StyrbjornStarke]

@killintymm no not at all,im from europe, but as i always say 'kill or be killed' Its the americans well deserved prize,they were so much smarter and determined and the african ppl really fall onto their knees infront of the white ppl

[killintymm]

@wolfsrain0000 yes! i remember a speech by someone in kenya - "when the white man came here we had the land , they came with the bible. They asked us to close our eyes and pray to god - when we opened our eyes - we had the bible and they had the land" But these days i think corruption is a big problem ? so the govt is misusing the international aid ? are you from kenya? correct me if im wrong.

[wolfsrain0000]

@killintymm ther would be plenty things to do there allright,may be they shouldnt have left all the other countries to rob it out this badly or they sign up for reservation park and volunteer in takin care fo animals
