DRC: Sexual violence continues
03.02.2005
Two years after its war was declared officially over, a wave of sexual violence continues to sweep through the Democratic Republic of Congo. Although the violence is not on the same scale as it once was, it remains a messy, unfinished conflict which has a huge impact on civilians - particularly girls and women. At least 40,000 have been raped over the past six years, according to a recent report by Amnesty International.
