Rape As A Tactic of War: Congo



Virtually all armies systematically used rape and sexual torture to tear apart families, destroy communities, and secure their hold on territories.

Documented rape victims in the Congo included babies as young as four months and women as old as 84 years.

What must be done to stop the abuse of rights in the Congo?

Elisha, the blog looks great. I am so excited to get involved with the dialogue you are creating.

I also wanted to mention to you that the 2009 Vagina Monologues at UNT are doing a focus on women of the Congo. Might be an interesting resource on both parts. :-)
