"Many women have been raped here in the eyes of their relatives and friends around. Some of them have children now and others have got ‘sina dawa' (AIDS)..."
It breaks my heart, To listen to women who were raped, To their heartbreaking stories, And those of their fatherless children.
COFAPRI brings you a message from the children of the Democratic Republic of Congo....
Desperate, because they are born to raped mothers, they have no fathers and society discriminates against them, as well as their mothers.
The culture, traditions, morals, and main beliefs of the grassroots remain a strong pillar in whatever they do.
Consulting them in their natural environment can reveal more than we could know if we only sat in offices waiting for news from people other than the grassroots themselves.
