DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

The World Takes From Congo. I'm Here to Give.

The DRC's eastern provinces — North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri — represent the world's longest-running humanitarian crisis, and the men in these regions have experienced a quarter-century of continuous conflict. Sexual violence against men in the DRC is an underreported atrocity: armed groups use male rape as a weapon of war, destroying men's masculine identity and community standing in cultures where such victimization carries unbearable shame. The men who survive this violence rarely speak of it, and the few organizations that address it — like the Panzi Foundation — note that male survivors are even more reluctant to seek help than female ones.
