Heal Africa
www.healafrica.org runs a hospital in Goma, Congo where they perform fistula surgery and care for rape victims.
Females, even babies, are raped in this region of Congo (North Kivu) . I spoke to women who told me they had been gang raped, then raped with a bayonet, after which the militia would use their rifle butts to pound the women's legs to pulp. Not all of the women can be repaired and their psychological wounds are another matter
