Tears in the Congo

Newly-arrived victims of sexual violence share the beds inside Kichanga Transit Center, supervised by Mama Jeanne, the responsible counselor for Hope in Action/CRN. The age of rape victims range from two years old to over sixty years old. These women here will wait until the beds in Goma's hospital will be available and get treated. The transit center receives between 10-15 victims of sexual violence in various villages in and around Kichanga, and only has 15 beds. They usually share a bed like these women here, or sleep on the floor in the saloon.
