RAPE AS A WEAPON

  • It is estimated that there are over 200,000 surviving rape victims living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo today.

  • From 2006 to 2007, an estimated 1,100 women were raped EVERY DAY.

  • Today, it is estimated that 36 women and children are raped daily.

“In Congo, if someone starts an armed group or kills people, they have a better chance of becoming a senior minister or a general than being put behind bars.”
Anneke Van Woudenberg, Human Rights Watch, January 2008
