YVONNE CHAKA CHAKA VISITS ANTI RAPE CAMPAIGNER ADELLE


Yvonne Chaka Chaka visited with Adelle who is the founder of No MeanS No and Anti rape campaign during her stay in Kenya.
The African Princess said, "Creating rape awareness is very important and I commend the No Means No for all their work. Rape is a sign of disrespect. If I say NO, I mean NO and that should be respected. Just because one cannot respect this, doesn't mean we women should let this dictate our lives. We should be free to wear whatever we want because as long as we say NO, nothing should happen. One of course cannot forget that men get raped too and so it is important for men to join such initiatives and get informed and spread what they've learnt too."
When asked about young men who still believe that when a woman says no she means yes:
"That is absolute misinformation and it is shocking that young men still think like our ancestors, No means No you have your work set out for you."

TPF’S WENDY KIMANI JOINS ANTI-RAPE CAMPAIGN


Tusker Project Fame II’s Wendy Kimani has joined an anti-rape campaign that advocates for global awareness on the rise of rape incidents.
The former reality TV show star who recently released a single with rapper Labalaa is the goodwill ambassador for No Means No.
“My role involves coming up with suggestions on how to combat rape as well as spread awareness on rape avoidance tips,” Wendy said, “ The campaign uses social online networks to get youth around the world coming up with suggestions on how to reduce rape incidents and combat rape. It’s also used as a means to educate individuals on what to do after rape in terms of medical tests that must be done, steps they should avoid like showering after a rape and legal action available to them.”

Young activist Adelaide Onyango started the anti-rape campaign in May this year. The online campaign is done through photography and video clips, a media favourite with the young.
