An extraordinary woman can do extraordinary things out of horrific circumstances. Hellen Tanyinga is such a woman. In 2009, Ms. Tanyinga started the Rape Hurts Foundation (RHF), an NGO in Uganda to help girls and women who have suffered abuse in its many forms and to stop human trafficking. She understood the impact of rape. She was raped as a child while getting water for her family. As she told me “I named the foundation ‘Rape Hurts’ because rape hurts.”
The Rape Hurts Foundation has now expanded to support children who are at risk of abuse, including boys who are increasingly the targets for sexual abuse. Ms. Tanyinga is not simply supporting girls and women who have been raped or trafficked. She is changing the culture by changing how girls, boys and women perceive themselves and giving them the means to control their destiny.
