The Em pow ered Wom en of Korogocho
Beatrice Nyariara lives in Korogocho. It's widely
considered to be Nairobi's most dangerous slum.
More than 150,000 people are packed into the
shanty town which is less than two square
kilometers.
Crime is high. Gangs are active. Addiction is
rampant.
A while back, men in her community started to
attack the "grandmothers" of Korogocho at night.
Most of the women attacked are sexually
assaulted, and some have been killed. The men
believe that the elder women were less likely to be
HIV positive. They also saw them as vulnerable.
A few years ago, Beatrice decided enough was
enough. It was time to fight back. It was time to
develop a community.
The result of that decision empowered the group
and taught their community to respect them, value
them, and to know how to be there for them.
Together, they are taking back Korogocho.
