Wake Up Call: Julie - North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo
March 9, 2011
By The IRC
Julie's Wake Up Call from International Rescue Committee on Vimeo.
From Cambodia to Congo, women and girls face violence and discrimination. Yet each day people are fighting to create a better world. Find out how they are changing lives despite incredible obstacles.
At a rural health clinic run by the International Rescue Committee where rape survivors receive counseling and medical care, Julie (not her real name) recalls the night she was raped by eight armed men wielding rifles and machetes. Even now after her physical wounds have healed, the memories of that night still haunt her.
Watch and listen to Julie's story, and share your own wake up call.

it is very difficult to be into julie place. this is a criminal action. I think that we must make efficace strategy for the end of conflit in DRC. the arm conflit in DRC is the negative influence to the people, particulary about the women et girls.
I think that IRC and local partern must make a strategy to previou the women's violence and make efficace strategy for counseling and medical care.
