Sextortion: That's the threat for women who are simply trying to buy clean water

In Nairobi's largest slum, women face an alarming threat of sextortion when trying to access clean water. The scarcity of reliable water sources forces many to rely on a local cartel, which often employs sexual threats and attacks to maintain control. This grim reality underscores the intersection of gender violence and resource scarcity, highlighting the urgent need for both improved water infrastructure and stronger protections for vulnerable women. The situation raises critical questions about systemic failures and the urgent necessity for comprehensive community support and policy interventions.
