Rape
is a torture, so why does it still goes unpunished in the democratic
republic of congo? germaine greer, an australian writer was raped in
1958 when she was 19 years old. 53 years later she is still
traumatized by her ordeal. in the sunday times of 10th july 2011
she said, i quote “rape is a medieval category. the man who commits
such a crime, his name should be made public on a sex offenders
register”

according to her, the 2011 american journal of public health
estimated 400.000 women are raped a year in drc that is 48 women an
hour, 8.400.000 in the past 20 years. rape is used as a weapon of
fear by the invaders, rwandan and ugandan soldiers, to destroy a
whole population of the d. r. congo. mothers of congo is a voice for
the voiceless, we speak up against rape to women and girls of the
democratic republic of congo. we proclaim peace with our neighbours
around the great lakes region.
The human rights situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo remains grave. Despite a period of optimism in late 2013 that armed violence and attacks on civilians might decrease in eastern Congo, minimal progress has been made to capitalize on these gains. The M23, an armed group whose fighters carried out widespread war crimes during its 19-month rebellion, was defeated in November 2013 after international pressure on the group’s Rwandan backers and the deployment of a United Nations “intervention brigade.” The intervention brigade is part of the peacekeeping mission, MONUSCO, and has a mandate to carry out offensive operations against armed groups. In the following weeks, several thousand fighters from other armed groups surrendered. However, the government stalled in implementing a new Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) program for former combatants, leaving the former combatants and their dependents to languish in squalid conditions at regroupment sites.
