Endind Sexual Violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

University of Toronto, Convocation Hall
Toronto
De: 2008-11-28 19h30
À: 2008-11-28 00h00

Description:
The eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been described by senior United Nations officials as the worst place in the world for women. Despite a ceasefire agreement, the rape, mutilation and sexual slavery of women continue to be used as strategies of war.

Join Stephen Lewis and Dr. Denis Mukwege, founder and Director of the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, DRC, as they discuss the crisis in the Congo and how the Panzi Hospital has become a refuge for women and girls. The hospital provides free medical care and has treated some 15,000 survivors of sexual violence since 1999. Many of the survivors test positive for HIV.

Since 2005, SAFER (Social Aid For the Elimination of Rape) has purchased and shipped $40,000 worth of crucial medical supplies to Panzi Hospital. Since November 2007, the Stephen Lewis Foundation has provided $650,000 to the DRC to help Panzi Hospital establish an extensive HIV/AIDS testing and treatment programme and develop psychosocial support services for the staff and patients who live each day with extreme trauma and suffering.
