Hellen Lunkuse Waiswa Tanyinga is a women's (and human) rights pioneer in Uganda and the founder of the Rape Hurts Foundation. At the age of 11 she was raped while doing the tradtionally female job of hauling water, and she transformed that pain into healing & power for herself, women, and all abused people. As the 1st female graduate of the prestigious East African Makerere University in Kampala, she's on the cutting edge and a hero to women and to many men in Uganda.
