Jaqueline is a Kenyan woman and a survivor of sexual assault during the 2007/2008 post-election violence. As a result she conceived and has an eight year old daughter. Her ordeal inspired her to start helping women and children who had gone through sexual and gender based violence during that time and beyond. One notable success is that through her human rights work one survivor has fully recovered, is back in school and assists her with her advocacy activities, to support other women come forward and others come to terms with their situations and accept their children.

Focus on her vision, which is to get reparations for the survivors, has kept her going despite the challenges she faces, including lack of funding to advance her human rights work. She believes she is deserving of the award because any work is worthy of reward or benefit. She has used her experience to advocate for the justice and reparations survivors of SGBV and of children conceived out of rape.
