Women in Eastern Congo

Interesting report on Eastern Congo on Radio 4's Today programme this morning, though the link above doesn't seem to have updated to today's report which was about the women of Eastern Congo. In recent years thousands of women have been subjected to rape and violence by militia groups. Many of these men have been imprisoned but are either escaping or buying their way out of prison by the sounds of the report. Use listen again or keep an eye out for the update.

Apparently, Radio 4 have had many calls asking how people can help with this situation in Eastern Congo. Keep an eye out on the Today website if you are also interested in helping out somehow...
