Our lectures
What are our lectures about?
Sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war in eastern Congo for decades. Behind this horrific and harsh reality are resilient women and girls.The impact of these rapes leaves no one unmoved. But the survivors are strong. That is why Mamas for Africa brings their stories of resilience and hope to you.
We provide insight into the history of eastern Congo, the work of our colleagues on the ground, and courageous testimonies from survivors.
Because when one woman regains her strength, a whole community follows.
