Judith Naliaka speaks to one of the girls seeking refuge at Peace Girls Rescue Centre in Kakamega. [Benjamin Sakwa, Standard].
Joyce runs a mobile money shop in the heart of Kakamega town along the busy Kakamega-Webuye road.
She occasionally stops our conversation to serve customers with a beaming smile that conceals her dark past.
In 2011, her father defiled her. She was just 16. She got pregnant and gave birth, and when her child was four, her father, then in his late 60s, was handed a life sentence after being convicted of incest.
