The sex slaves of al-Shabab

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

A 麻豆社 investigation has uncovered an underground trade in Kenyan women by al-Shabab for sex and domestic slavery in Somalia. Tens of women who have escaped captivity tell for the first time harrowing stories of their life in al-Shabab camps. The 麻豆社's Anne Soy went to meet them at an undisclosed location in the Coastal city of Mombasa. We have changed their names to protect their identities.
