Esther Mujawajo
Trauma-Therapist
The Association of Widows of the Genocide" (AVEGA), Ruanda
Born in Rwanda in 1958, Esther Mujawayo works as a psychotherapist in Dusseldorf, principally with persons who suffer from psychic post-war trauma. She and her three children survived the 1994 genocide of Tutsis in Rwanda, where she lost her husband and many relatives. In July of that same year she founded a Non-Governmental Organisation of widows, Avega, with the purpose of helping women who survived the carnage, especially those who were victims of rape. She wrote, SurVivantes: Rwanda, dix ans après le génocide in 2004, describing her life, from the happy childhood in a herdsmen's village in the Ruandan hills until her arrival in Germany, and, in 2007, Stéphanie's Flower, La Fleur de Stéphanie: Rwanda entre réconciliation et déni, containing her own personal experience regarding the delicate process of national reconciliation, set in motion by the Ruandan government to ensure peaceful coexistence between Tutsi and Hutu.Day and hour of the speech
