Three years into our partnership with WITNESS, we, at the Research and Advocacy Unit (RAU) have produced our fourth video.
This video carries tales of hope by women victims/survivors of politically motivated rape.
We fear repetition of these acts as elections have been forecast for later on this year.
Help our cause to support these women and many others like them to find themselves again and deal with their trauma.
Donations, in cash or kind are welcome to help Doors of Hope.

The Moors are a group of North African population which conquered and ruled Spain and parts of Portugal for more than 700 years beginning in 711 AD and ending in 1492 AD.

Ruth Ellis
(1899 – 2000) dedicated countless years of service to her community, and particularly black LGBT youth. In 1937 Ruth moved to Detroit with her partner Babe, the two bought a house, which from 1946 to 1971 was known as the “Gay Spot.” Not only did their home serve as a safe space for Detroit’s LGBT community, but the couple also offered lodging and support to many black LGBT youth in need. In a time before the Gay Civil Rights Movement began Ruth was a beacon of light for many LGBT youth who found themselves in the dark. In 1999 The Ruth Ellis Center was founded in Detroit, MI, which continues to offer lodging and support to LGBT youth in need. She continued working with LGBT organizations until her death in 2000 at an age of 101.
