In the midst of conflict, soldiers are often prone to brutal and thirsty women. Soldiers often prefer to rape rather than protecting women.
In the Congo, reveals the latest news, as many as 248 women have been raped troops in the province of Sud-Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, an area that the center of the world's most evil of rape.
Soldiers in Congo known as malignant. Previous reports have noted, more than 1,100 women were raped every day in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health, on Tuesday (05/10/2011) says, that figure shows that sexual violence against women in the country are 26 times more than previously thought.
Based on the study published the press, more than 400,000 women and girls aged 15-49 years had been raped in war torn countries in Central Africa for 12 months in 2006 and 2007.
Based on previous UN reports, cases of rape in the same period reached 15,000 cases. No wonder the region is called the United Nations as the "rape capital" of the world. So many women were raped and suffered a severe traumatic lifetime.
United Nations (UN), the activist group Human Rights (human rights), and foreign governments have long complained about impunity for heinous crimes that occurred that made the army in Congo. Margot Wallstrom, the UN special representative for combating sexual violence in conflict wilayak, some time ago, called, Democratic Republic of Congo as the "rape capital" of the world.
Rape can be done anywhere, in the ruins of buildings, terrain or bush. According to a report of a doctor of a hospital in Nakiele, as many as 121 local women have been victims of rape reported within two days.
Meanwhile, a nurse said, on other days as many as 55 women reported being raped near the city of Abala. One other health workers say as many as 72 women in the village of Kanguli melalaporkan, they also raped on the same day.
Village Chief Nakiele, Losema Etamo Ngoma, told AFP, rape and looting carried out by at least 150 armed men under the command of the national army colonel Nyiragire Kulimushi, also known as "Kifaru".
"The results of our study ensures that the previous estimates of rape and sexual violence are very far from the true prevalence of sexual violence that occurred in the DRC," said Amber Peterman, principal author of the study.
In fact, a number of studies it is still a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of sexual violence. Therefore, not all cases recorded or reported because of fear about the stigma, shame, and social exclusion.
The study, which collected data from 2007, does not include sexual violence among young women aged less than 15 years or women older than 49 years. The study also did not include sexual violence among boys and adult men. It would be immoral.
