Vumilia, 42, was attacked with knives by Interahamwe rebels living in the mountains near her village. She was raped and developed an infection in her uterus. Her scar comes from a hysterectomy. Vumilia’s house was burned and her husband abandoned her until mediator’s from Apromar/Amama encouraged him to allow her to return. Vumilia said that she lives with her husband but that he’s not always good to her and he does not pay for their four children’s school fees or food. Vumilia said he comes to her when he “has a need” sexually, and then he sends her away again.
