Women's Village Umoja Dancing
Personal Travel story from Sinja StΓΆtzner:
The last days in Kenya were pretty intense & emotional for me. I went to travel to a women's village in Samburu (6hours from Nairobi) where only women live. I have been there several times. But this time it was different. We stayed a few days with the women and could join them in their day to day activities like carrying the water to their huts, learning how they light fire for cooking their breakfast, how they build their manyattas...Some of the ladies share their private stories with us, how they ended up in the women's village, what they went through and why the village is a refuge place and safe haven for them.
Especially in the evening we sat down talking to one of the son's (he is an adult now and the son of one co-founder). He gave us his view, how he felt living and growing up in a women's village where no men are allowed and how it has changed him compared to his friends. He has learned the struggle the women went through by abusive husbands and the difference between women who went through FGM and women who didn't.
For me as a European it was so eye opening to discuss with ihm about the consequences of the female circumcision, how painful it must be and how it effects their sexual life and appetite. I mean FGM is illegal in Kenya now, but still around 80 % of the Samburu communities still do it, simply because it is their culture. And a traditional Samburu men can not even accept to marry a women who is not circumcised.
This is one reason why the women's village was founded in 1990 and it still exists to fight against FGM, misuse and early forced marriages.
