There's a war raging in the Democratic Republic of the Congo -- a war that's killed approximately 5.4 million people since 1998. In fact, it's the deadliest conflict since World War II. And the most frequent targets in this hidden war are women, so much so that it's often called a "war against women."

And the most frequent weapon used to destroy them, their families and their communities is rape. Bring an end to these terrible human rights abuses against women. »

Tens of thousands of women and girls have been and continue to be victims of systematic rape and sexual assault. Rape is used deliberately and strategically to terrorize, humiliate and attack the community bonds of those suspected of supporting an enemy group and to impose the supremacy of one group over another.

The situation is intolerable, and something must be done. Urge President Obama to held end the war on women in the Congo. »

Thanks for taking action!
