Recovering from trauma: rwandan genocide survivor Leah Chishugi in conversation

Leah Chishugi describes herself as a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people in the Central African nation of Rwanda. In 1994 she was caught up in the violence and escaped only after being left for dead under a pile of corpses.
Now 34, Leah has documented her experiences in her recent book and has found a greater purpose in life through devotion to the service of others and the desire to help women who are continuing to suffer from rape and other atrocities.
This event was held on Tuesday 13 September 2011 at the University of Sydney.
