Submitted by WN2007 NTV Kenya Posted November 22, 2010 10:21 PM Its so interesting how men still blame women for the sex or looks of a baby, so many explanations later about how this happens. How safe is this girl now or when she surfaces with the mum? What are human and civil rights bodies doing in Kenya? Are they educating people about the rights of everyone in the country including those with albinism? It was so nice to see someone with albinism elected to parliament in the same TZ where this business is recruitive. I hope it makes a human rights difference.
