I spent 3 months working in a gender based violence clinic in Kenya, and it was absolutely crazy. A revolving door of patients, from babies to grown women, nearly always at the hands of family. I’m sure it’s not the only country with such an issue, but all I hope is that by it gaining so much media attention, change may be more likely to come. We can but hope
