The case of Anfac, a Somali woman, victim of an abhorrent series of crimes, has profoundly moved me and brought forth the urgent need to take action. Serious crimes were conducted against Anfac, including rape, sexual assault, assault and battery, and defamation. These heinous acts were committed by hit men in Kenya, and allegedly financed by a past husband residing in the United States.

This human rights violation is not just about Anfac, but a testament to the extent of violence against women that persists in society today. In fact, a report by the United Nations highlights that 1 in 3 women globally experience physical or sexual violence, mostly by an intimate partner.

It is crucial that the individuals behind these brutal acts, regardless of their geographic location, are held accountable. This accountability is the only way to ensure that all women, especially Somali women, can feel secure and have their rights protected. Therefore, we demand an international investigation into this case, and for the perpetrators to face the full extent of the law.

The fight for justice for Anfac is a fight for the safety and dignity of all Somali women and women around the world. Sign the petition now and stand in solidarity with Anfac, Somali women, and all women who have endured similar pain.
