The Weapon of Rape

*** begin quote ***

… my most indelible memory from my most recent visit, last year, came as I was interviewing a young woman who had been gang-raped.

I had taken her aside to protect her privacy, but a large group of women suddenly approached. I tried to shoo them away, and then the women explained that they had all been gang-raped and had decided that despite the stigma and risk of reprisal, they would all tell their stories.

So let’s hope that this week the world’s leaders and diplomats stop offering excuses for paralysis and begin emulating the courageous outspokenness of those Congolese women.

And ‘world leaders’ debate global warming’, and one half the world’s population is targeted by this ‘strategy’. Maybe not today, right now, but if it’s ever deemed ‘acceptable’, it’s a gun aimed at every woman.

Another great example of man’s inhumanity to man.

Argh.
