In Kenya's Kibera Slum women and girls are often forced to have sex in order to obtain water. According to studies, sextortion happens to at least 9 percent of the girls in informal settlements. DW's Andrew Wasike reports from Nairobi.
"I have lived here in the Kibera slums for more than 10 years, water is our biggest problem, we have no piped water. There are so many water brokers who are part of our problems also," Munyoki told DW.
Afraid to share the personal ordeal of her daughter, the mother of two said the perpetrators warned her not to talk.Instances of sextortion "Most of our children are lured into sex for water, the offenders then take photos and videos of these acts," she explained, adding that the victims are often forced to continue engaging in sexual activities after being warned that if they didn't agree to it, the sexual predators would share the videos on social media.
Water.org, a global nonprofit organization working to bring water and sanitation to the world, says that out of Kenya's population of 53 million people, 15% rely on questionable water sources, including ponds, shallow wells, and rivers.
