  I don't know what can be done to stop this,for every idea I come up with I can come up with a reason that it is unworkable. Since this article is 2 years old, obviously the U.S. has no interst in the area, workable answers or even any worldwide reputation left to interfere in this. Isn't this sort of thing that the U.N. is supposed to be policing? Between starvation, genocide, rampant HIV ( idiots over there think having sex with a virgin will cure them) and yes, why is it that women and children ALWAYS pay for the evil that Men do? Just rape is ugly enough in itself,I cant imagine living with what these women are having to live with. If they cannot govern themselves then the UN sshould install a government that can. It's crazy that they have all these natural resources and so much poverty.

  Thankyou Peacelady for the information of how we can do something, we need to know more about about how we can actually help. I read these articles and like you i am heartbroken, I want to quit my life and go help, but I don't know where to start. I will look at healafrica.org. Thank you again

  When I initially read this article, I felt heartbroken and helpless. Is there anything at all that we can do to make any sort of difference in the midst of this tragedy when all international agencies have evacuated their staff? So when a friend who had actually traveled to Congo told me today about one hospital in Goma that has stayed open all through the crisis and continues to serve the Congolese women even in the midst of the fighting, I had to post its website here for all who had a similar reaction and who want to do more than feel terrible for a minute.
