Congo in the VDAY Spotlight

Rape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is at levels that one can barely fathom. This issue has garnered a lot of attention recently due to a high profile visit last year by Secretary Hillary Clinton. For this year's VDAY coinciding with Woman's History Month the plight of the Congo is being highlighted. I first wrote about the problem in 2008 and and the problem has only grown since then.
