Inspirations: My School for Survivors
Brisa de Angulo set up a charity for survivors of sexual assault in Bolivia
At the age of 15, Brisa de Angulo was raped by one of her extended family members. When she finally found the courage to tell the police, she was ostracised and her case was sent to an agricultural and livestock court. After a traumatic experience in court, Brisa decided to set up A Breeze of Hope, a charity which provides medical, social and legal services to young rape survivors. Brisa is a nominee for Outlook Inspirations 2018, you can find the other nominees at this link: www.bbcworldservice.com/outlookinspirations. (Picture credit: Parker Palmer.)
