There was a really interesting article in Spiegel Online today. A woman in Kenia founded a village for women who have been abused by their fathers or husbands, were raped by soldiers, had undergone female genitale mutilation or had an arranged marriage. These women learned to live on their own and to make money by selling self-made jewellery or fresh vegetables.
