Congo

I think that this issue is very important to take a stand in. It is horrible how the women and children are being treated there. I don't think that they should have to go through these horrid situations, it isn't right or fair. It is unfortuate for them especially because they have to deal with the consequences such as disease or even raising a child, even though it wasn't their fault. The fact that the criminals don't even get punished for it is unthinkable. I can't even express how much anger it stirs up in me. I am very thankful that raping is not a very big issue where we live. I can feel comfortable traveling by myself without having the fear that someone might rape me. I think that this should be the feeling that all women have in their home countries, so that they can do whatever they want and not feel scared.
