Rwanda genocide: 30 years on, a family's journey to heal from rape
Agatha, whose real name has been concealed, was among at least 250,000 women and girls who, according to UN figures, were raped by Hutu extremists during the genocide targeting the Tutsi minority in 1994. Raped and abducted by a former Hutu schoolmate during the 100 days of bloodshed that left 800,000 people dead, Agatha was just 17 when she gave birth. Her daughter Agnes, whose real name has also been concealed, was shunned by relatives on both sides. 30 years on, the relationship between mother and daughter is slowly healing.
