Stop conflict rape

I discovered these websites not too long ago.As you know in Rwanda, I will work with an organization who help women who were raped during the genocide or families affected by conflict rape.I also have done and still do a lot of research on the use of rape as a weapon of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo.Very little is done to prevent rape or conflict in the DRC.There is a lack of peacekeepers on the ground.I believe Kosovo , a very small country compared to the DRC, had approximately 50,000 while Zimbabwe has 18,000.A lot of research has been done on the DRC.It is extremely complex and violent but few people outside the field of politics, human rights or development know what is going on so I just wanted to show you these websites.You can even send a picture of you doing the 'cross sign.' I'm not saying this is gonna change a lot but it's a start.They have links to a bunch of advocacy and NGO websites.
