Info about the DRC

The Congo presents one of the world's deadliest emergencies to date. More than 5.4 million people have died since 1998. Gang rape and brutal torture are a daily reality for the women and children of Congo. Over 1.5 million people have been displaced in the North and South Kivu Provinces as a result of episodic violence. Militias from many countries are pillaging villages and attacking civilians. Women as old as 80 and as young as five have been victims of rape and other forms of sexual violence. 38,000 continue to die every month, 1200 a day. Half of these deaths are children under the age of 5 years.
