Kenya: Elderly women taking self defence lessons

Elderly women in Kenya are taking self defence lessons: “Elderly women in Korogocho, Kenya are sick and tired of the numerous stories of rape against their peers. So these feisty mamas have decided to take matters into their own hands. To combat the violence, an elderly Kenyan woman has decided to teach willing women techniques of how to combat a rapist in case of an attack.”
