Victoria Nyanjura endured eight years as a captive of the Lord's
Resistance Army in Uganda. In 1996 she was only 14 years old when
she, along with more than 100 other schoolgirls, were taken
captive by the LRA. Over the next eight years she was beaten,
raped and had two children before eventually escaping in 2004.
Now she still lives in Uganda as an advocate for women and
children affected by war. She speaks to HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur
about the hardships she endured and her view of the former LRA
commander, Dominic Ongwen. He is charged with war crimes and
crimes against humanity and is due to go on trial in December
2016 at the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
