Elderly father ordered to gang rape his daughters refused - so he was raped as well and made a homosexual

 

Brutal: Fatma was 17 when she was gang raped at home in Nairobi

At least 900 women and girls, and some men and boys, were targeted during a wave of violence that hit Kenya after the country's disputed 2007 election that saw 1,133 killed.
Many survivors suffered physical disabilities and mental health problems due to their horrific ordeals but have been ignored by the Kenyan government which has done little to give them compensation or justice.


A new report released by Human Rights Watch documents the ongoing physical, mental, social, and economic impact of sexual violence during the post-election violence.

Shocking violence: Wangechi was raped by men she did not know

An elderly man, Joseph N, 82, was made to watch as his two daughters were raped by a gang of 50 young men who then ordered him to join in the violence.
When he refused to take part, they raped him.
Speaking of the attack on January 2, 2008 he said: "They said they will teach me a lesson. They beat and raped both my daughters; so many of them. Then they told me to rape my children. I refused.

"They hit me with a metal bar and some teeth came off. They pulled out some of my other teeth one by one. They broke my chin."


"They said, 'If you don’t want to do what we are telling you, you will be our wife.' Six boys took me aside and told me to undress. I refused.
"They beat me all over. My skull cracked a little. They did a very bad thing to me. They made me their wife; they made me a homosexual."

One of his daughters contracted HIV from the rape and died in June 2014.
The other one had been badly beaten and shot with a poisoned arrow. They amputated her leg but she kept ailing and died in May 2015. 
 
Joseph N, who has been left with chronic health issues, now cares for some of his grandchildren.
