In poor Kenyan communities the rates of sexual assault are staggeringly high — but also hard to quantify.
That is because most are never reported.


But a group of grandmothers has had enough and they are fighting back — literally.
Korogosho is one of the many informal settlements in Nairobi. It is a slum.
It is there that a group of grandmothers is using elements from wrestling and karate to protect themselves and each other as part of a program that tries to prevent sexual assault.
Ferocious grandmother, 74-year-old Beatrice Nyariara, is in the middle of training.
"It is very unsafe because before we started this group of old women like me, a lot of old women used to be raped by young men. They take drugs, alcohol and when it enters their head, they can't differentiate between their elders and young girls," Ms Nyariara said.
"We found someone to train us. We started doing karate. As we continued, young men realised we won't be hurt and started backing."
