We revisit with Global Activist, Dana Degrazia. Upon moving to Kenya for school, she was “shocked” from “the lack of factual information in all areas of sex education.” So Dana started an NGO called “Afreaka” to provide general sexual education for Kenyans. But in time, she came across numerous cases of unreported sexual violence. As a result, Dana’s program evolved to provide support for sexual violence victims and to encourage them to pursue legal justice. Dana will update us on her progress and specifically one of her cases.
