DRC: Sexual Violence Rampant, Unpunished in DR Congo War

Forces on all sides in the Congo conflict have committed war crimes against women and girls, Human Rights Watch says in a new 114-page report. The report documents the frequent and sometimes systematic use of rape and other forms of sexual violence in the Rwandan-occupied areas of eastern Congo. "War continues to rage in eastern Congo. Within that larger war, combatants carry out another war -- sexual violence against women and girls," said Alison Des Forges, senior advisor to the Africa division of Human Rights Watch.
