Portrait of Lydia Rotich, 33, a distance runner who reported her partner to the police after he violently attacked and stole from her, in the room she rents in Iten, Kenya, on March 6, 2023. A mother of two, she says Tirop’s Angels helped to save her life, offering support for her basic needs and allowing her to continue to train.
After world record-holder Agnes Tirop was murdered a group of her fellow athletes formed Tirop’s Angels to stop gender-based violence. The group has filed 12 cases alleging domestic abuse with the police since Tirop’s death, including women who have been hit, slapped, thrown to the ground and had their bank accounts hijacked or property deeds changed. More than 40% of woman in Kenya say they have experienced physical or sexual violence by their husbands or partners, but the prize money that has flowed into Iten from running, along with endorsement contracts from global sporting brands, has raised the stakes for these athletes.
