Article The African all-female tribe where men are not allowed (Umoja Uaso in Kenya)
Quote:The Umoja Uaso is an all-female matriarch. In the aftermath of British rule, over 1,400 women became pariahs some of whom found solace in a small village protected by a fence of thorns and barbed wire. Men are forbidden from living in this sanctuary to this day.
Quote:Umoja Uaso ("unity" in Swahili and due to its location near Uaso Nyiro river) is an all-female tribe in Samburu County, Kenya. Closed off from the outside world, the village is like a bandaid for women survivors of violence and genital mutilation and their young ones. Here, all women are welcome to stay, raise their children, date, and enjoy freedom from Samburu traditions of female subordination and find economic empowerment.
