On this International Women's Day, Maryknoll lay missioner Dee Dungy shares what she learned from listening to women in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp. “Hearing the women retell their plight on their journeys toward Kakuma deeply unsettles me. They tell harrowing stories about their escapes at night, as they fled tribal or political unrest and the rapidly deteriorating security in their country.”
“One by one,” Dee writes, “the women share the awful choices they faced: The choice to stay with their land, their source of food and income; or to flee and risk being caught and exploited by their captors; or the hope of reaching Kakuma camp unscathed and giving their children a chance to survive.”
