Dadaab, Kenya, November 30
Hagadera is one of three refugee camps from the complex of Dadaab in north-west Kenya. A group of women there call themselves "survivors" as they fled a conflict from their countries, mainly Somalia. Nevertheless, they are victims of sexual violence in the camp. Most of the women appeal to a special Gender and Development Office, backed by the UNHCR, which helps to empower them by training programmes. A Gender Recovery Center is due to open this month at Hagadera's hospital and will be run by the International Rescue Commitee. A similar recovery center is planned to be open in other two Dadaab's camp of Ifo and Dagahaley.
