Au Kenya, une fille sur trois est victime de violence sexuelle avant d’avoir 18 ans. Les plaintes déposées font rarement l’objet d’enquêtes policières. Mais 160 filles, dont Alicia, se sont regroupées et, avec l’aide d’une équipe multinationale de juristes dirigée par l’avocate canadienne Fiona Sampson et la travailleuse sociale kényane Mercy Chidi Baidoo, elles ont écrit une page d’histoire.
