HOW YOU CAN HELP

A startling fact about the Congolese women in this photograph is that all of them have been subjected to brutal sexual violence.




It gets worse: They have lost their husbands and been forced to leave their homes and villages. Without skills to make a living, they are the sole of support of their children. They are alone and without resources; there is no one to help them.







How this can happen is unfathomable to us in the west. But this nightmare continues to be reality for hundreds of thousands of women in DR Congo.
