== Early life ==
Wek was born in Wau in Sudan (now South Sudan), the seventh of nine children, in a two-bedroom house without electricity or running water. Her mother Akuol (b. 1946) was a housewife, and her father Athian (1933–1985) was an education official. Her name reportedly means "Black Spotted Cow". Alek has stated that physically, she resembles her father, who was 6'5" and also had unusually long limbs.〔 Wek suffered from the skin condition psoriasis from infancy until age 14.〔
Her father Athian once broke his hip in a bicycle accident; his hip was repaired with metal pins. When the civil war broke out in Wau in 1985, the Wek family had to flee from both rebel and government forces. Long periods of walking caused Athian's hip to get infected, and upon the family's return to Wau, he became paralysed and endured a haemorrhage. He died at a relative's home in Khartoum.〔
