young by then and that this young lady it would come up to challenge men everybody despised me that is that lady the speeds. whatever over. mistakes in the national championship are high and susan more often gets nervous when her rivals are on the truck. because. yes. but let our own when you get to the tat when i get to the stats and i drop all they feel. it is not easy. how could driver knows how to give someone a boast when the competition is stiff. so i also tend to be more in such a moment when she feels likely to be depressed the guys are faster than half and

. he would hear screams all the time women were attacked by boys who had come to rank them. because the grannies of carl got cho and they call themselves regularly targeted to be additions attack us believed the women were free and that sex with them could cure their own infection almost daily one of those numbers all the women were sexually assaulted raped on that. school with a 5th on 11 day we found dead with broken bottles inside her body when we carried her body to the police but they closed the gates and didn't let a sin to get up on his part we took her body to the mortuary. and on that day we decided enough is enough and we women will start helping ourselves in the planning to decide to do. in a force like korogocho as only women have had to bear the brunt of society neglect and crime it is in this very community that many of them have been assaulted often

sexually deemed as easy targets and this in here that they fight to take 16 to their own families. running decides to fight back and others of the same. grannies who rob between 65 and 90 years old meet once a week. and defend themselves. and when i'm walking down the street and an attacker approaches this is how i fight. i'm proud to say that i'm a strong elderly woman. it is with this pride and dedication. could they have grabbed up the package and raised awareness in the community rape used to be a daily reality with these granny. who were. now running says she only hears a case every 2nd day and she will keep on fighting until every woman.
