The UN has recently filed a report concerning the problems with human rights in the Congo. There have been a series of killings and rapes over a long and terrible ten year period. "Tens of thousands of people were killed, and numerous others were raped, mutilated or otherwise victimized during the decade." This report includes an accusation about armed Rwandan forces committing serious human rights violations inside the Congo.

In the Congo there is an extreme amount of violations towards women including: Beating, Kidnapping, even killing. That it why there needs to be safe houses such as the Panzi Clinic, a remarkable facility in eastern Congo that manages, under extraordinarily difficult circumstances, to accommodate a small number of women who have survived excruciating acts of gender violence.
