“Voices from Kenya: A Eyewitness Report on Post-Election Violence”
An emergency delegation organized by UUSC (Unitarian Universalist Service Committee) traveled to Kenya from January 20-25 to learn firsthand the extent and root causes of the political and humanitarian crisis that has engulfed the country since the flawed presidential election in late December 2007. Dr. Atema Eclai, UUSC’s Director of Programs and a member of the delegation, will report on the delegation’s findings.
Bio: Atema Eclai has worked around the world on issues of conflict resolution, negotiation, microcredit, health, genital mutilation, and participatory quality education. She has chaired sessions at the U.N. women’s conferences in Nairobi and Beijing and has facilitated many international meetings. Atema was also a chief facilitating team member for Women Waging Peace, an initiative of the Women and Public Policy Program at the Kennedy School of Government.
