Florence 19. Spent 7 years with the LRA. ‘One of rebels asked me to marry him, he was holding a gun and I knew he would kill me if I did not agree, he had already raped me on several occasions. I was only 15 when we ‘married’ and he would do with me as he liked, when I refused sex he beat me badly, but I preferred being beaten to being having sex with him.’

Nora, 12. Spent 2 years with the LRA. Nora first tried to escape while collecting firewood for the LRA. ‘A rebel caught me and brought me back to the camp. The commandar ordered 2 children to beat me. It hurt so much, and I started crying, he ordered me to stop crying, but I couldn’t, it was only when the children beating me whispered for me to stop or they would be forced to kill me that I stopped’.
