Maasai women in Central Kenya are preparing to seek compensation from the British Department of Defense for the rapes they allege troops stationed there for training have committed for some thirty years. Many of the women and their mixed-race children have been excluded from their Maasai community and abandoned by their husbands. About 300 of these women registered with Indigenous Movement for Peace Advancement and Conflict Transformation (IMPACT), a local group that seeks to promote peace and the rights of indigenous people.
