VITAL STATISTICS
On average, every 90 seconds a woman is raped in Congo. It often involves multiple perpetrators, mutilation and always results in devastating consequences for the victim.
On average, every 90 seconds a woman is raped in Congo. It often involves multiple perpetrators, mutilation and always results in devastating consequences for the victim.
In response to the rape crisis in Eastern Congo, VALUED funds vital repair surgery for women who have been destroyed by rape. This includes hospital fees, ongoing medication and further support. Whilst some women are entitled to free care if they seek treatment within three years of rape, many women do not meet this criteria, for several reasons. They may need repeat treatment, they may have been raped in the conflict more than three years ago, or may not have sought treatment due to fear and lack of understanding. These women suffer terrible internal injuries, which, if untreated, can lead to death.
VALUED needs YOUR DONATION to help pay for women to be treated at GESOM (the government clinic) in Goma, DRC. This is a excellent facility where women receive surgery, post surgery care, trauma counselling, and a stay in a safe house where they can learn basic skills and begin to reintegrate back into community. Because each surgery is so different, the cost ranges from £75.00 to £350.00.
Our aim is to ease the physical memory of the rape, so that women can begin to heal internally too.
