| Summary |
"Women and girls are bearing the brunt of the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Throughout the four-year conflict, thousands - perhaps tens of thousands - have been subjected to rape, torture and humiliation. In his consulting room at Panzi hospital, Dr Denis Mukaweye leafs through his patient book. Page after page detail terrible injuries. Human rights activists say rape is being used as a weapon of war. The goal is to subjugate the civilian population. All sides - the Mayi-Mayi and Interahamwe militias, the Rwandan-backed rebels and Rwandan soldiers - have been implicated in this crime. " -- Web |
