My Reactions:
According to Jeffrey Gettleman in "Rape Victims’ Words Help Jolt Congo Into Change," the rape problem in Congo is considerably serious. Lots of women have been raped in the past few years. International organization and the government hope to encourage victims to speak out in order to fight for their right and bring out better outcome.
I was shocked by this article because women in Africa are much poorer than I thought. There are rapes every day, women are living in danger and worrying about how to deal with the situation of being raped. In my opinion, I think impunity is an unreasonable system. For this reason, bandits are encouraged to break the law indirectly, and without taking any criminal responsibility. However, the government has to put much effort on keeping women safe as well as providing counseling to victims and their families. They did nothing wrong. We should help them to get over from guilt and embarrassment.
Besides, there are also lots of problems in Africa, people are suffering in starvation, war and poverty etc. They struggle with their life and have no choice. I think we are fortunate living in our city compare with them. What we have to do is to treasure the things around us and give a hand to those who need help.
