By Katy Migiro NAIROBI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The schoolboy watched as a man tried to remove the nappy of a little girl he was dragging along a Nairobi riverbank, suspecting that he was going to rape her. Having been trained to defend girls against sexual assault, the boy called other young men to help him confront the man and rescue the child. "It would have been fatal," said Collins Omondi, who taught the boy as part of a program to stamp out violence against women and girls in Nairobi slums. "If this man would have assaulted this kid, he would have thrown her inside the river." Omondi teaches a program called 'Your Moment of Truth', run by the charity Ujamaa Africa which encourages adolescent boys to stand up against violence toward women. March 23, 2015 at 03:19PM
