Image description

A head and shoulders portrait of an adolescent Kikuyu girl wearing a blouse and pinafore. The girl is said to be a Christian and to have refused to take the Mau Mau oath, even after Mau Mau fighters had killed her sister for refusing to cooperate. Original typescript caption: A Kikuyu girl: she is a Christian and has resisted all attempts to force her to take the Mau Mau oath. Her sister was strangled by Mau Mau for refusal to co-operate. Women are forced into service as food-carriers, and young girls often kidnapped to live in the forest as prostitutes for the gangs.
