Update on Flora Terah

For everyone who responded to my appeal to fight election violence against Kenyan women, here's an update on Flora Terah.

From Raychelle Injete, another Kenyan woman who has volunteered her own skills and resources to support Flora:

The election violence issue is now of great concern to all Kenyans. Flora's case has caused the press to be sensitive to the cases of other women candidates who have faced a similar fate. She is getting a lot of coverage as she goes to see other women who are being physically assaulted by their opponents. The "Terah Against Terror" Campaign has attracted a lot of local and international attention.

We are in the process of setting up a website, www.floraterah.org. We will inform you when it goes live.

On behalf of Flora, who is in the field visiting women aspirants who have been assaulted, we wish to request you to kindly pass around the message of her Peace Campaign to as many people as possible, when her site is up, so that we can get overwhelming response to the project.

Women who have been assaulted are now calling on Flora for help and she is doing just that... in crutches.
