Kenya urged to help women raped during post-election violence

Hundreds of girls and woman raped during Kenya's 2007-2008 post-election violence are struggling with devastating health problems including HIV, a rights group said on Monday, as it urged the government to provide help and compensation. Human Rights Watch (HRW), which interviewed more than 170 rape victims, said most were still in desperate need of medical attention and were unable to work, compounding their poverty.
