Gender-based violence in Burundi: A survivor's testimony
www.aidsalliance.corg - "Audrey Inarukundo from the National Network of Young People Living with HIV (RNJ+) shares the testimony of a young rape survivor from Burundi. This young woman has agreed to share her experience because she recognises that, if nothing is done to help the survivors of gender-based violence, the perpetrators of these acts will continue.
‘NK’, from north Burundi, is now 18. She was orphaned at a young age, and never knew her parents. She was raised by her grandmother until her grandmother died, and was then raised by her uncle who abused her. When NK reached, as she describes it, “the age of reason”, she decided to leave her native province and go to the capital to look for work."
