BRITISH feminists are calling on the UN’s High Commission for Refugees to take action on alleged violence against lesbian women at one of its camps in Kenya.
British-based FiLiA, a women’s rights charity, says it has received harrowing reports of poor treatment, lack of food, sexual assault and rape from a number of lesbians in the Kakuma camp in the Turkana region of north-west Kenya.
The women are not the only ones who say they have been subjected to harassment, abuse and violence.
