Rebecca Lolosoli


The Awesome Woman of the Day for Wednesday, October 3, 2012 is Rebecca Lolosoli, women's rights activist specializing in helping women who are victims of (nearly always male-perpetrated) violence. http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/half-the-sky/rebecca-lolosoli/

There's really no way for me to do her justice, so I give you her own words:
