The Burden of Peace
Women Speak in the Aftermath of Kenya's 2007 Post-Election Crisis [DVD]
Narrated by Shailja Patel
Peace has returned to Kenya after the violence that erupted in the wake of the disputed elections in 2007. Yet for many of the country's women - killed or widowed, maimed and gang-raped, displaced and dispossessed - this is not their peace.
Their voices, recorded from across the country's kaleidoscopic ethnicities and political persuasions, ring out loud and clear in this film, speaking about the burdens women continue to bear from the past as the price for this peace.

The Kenyan government has banned extra holiday tuition for students in private and public schools. Education Permanent Secretary Karega said children need to rest during holidays and not do extra work. Concerns were raised about the strain students are under after more than 300 secondary schools experienced riots.
