Born in Rwanda in 1958, Esther Mujawayo is a sociologist. She 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.
