I am outraged that Congolese women are being sexually assaulted regularly and nothing has been done about it. Today, I joined a group of people who have bravely shared their images with the photographers in an awareness exhibition. Congolese women and children are experiencing the individual reality of the crisis reflected by the above statistics. You are invited to show your support for the women and girls of Congo by joining an online gallery and being counted in their numbers.
