Congo Spotlighted in This Week’s Law & Order SVU
This week’s all-new episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit once again takes on an issue we at Enough are passionate about: ending the epidemic of violence against women in eastern Congo.
In the second half, the episode “Witness” highlights the searing story of a young Congolese woman who escaped the violence in eastern Congo and now lives in the United States. Although she is many thousands of miles away from her home, a turn of events forces her to confront her own experience with rape in Congo. Her story highlights the fact that the trade in conflict minerals from Congo is helping perpetuate the violence, and as consumers, we bear responsibility for helping to end the sordid trade so that Congo’s people can benefit from their country’s resource wealth.
In the gripping, highly fictionalized style that regular followers of SVU love, scriptwriters (with some input from Enough) incorporated this tragic and underreported theme into a story that will reach hundreds of thousands of viewers in the United States on Wednesday night. Please tune in at 10/9c. After watching this account of the character’s experience, learn about the work being done daily to empower the real women of Congo and reform the conflict minerals trade.
Please help spread the word about Wednesday night’s episode and the resources available that explain the real-life dimension of the tragedy unfolding right now in eastern Congo. On Twitter and Facebook, please post:

I watched and was deeply affected. I work with rape victims, and see the after-effects every day. But when the woman told the story with her daughter, I have been unable to shake the horror, even knowing that animals like that are everywhere. I am torn between wishing I had not watched, and glad that I did. I have not let my 3 daughters out of my sight since, grateful for every moment that they can be naive to the evils of the world.
Amazing show, heartbreaking, and I am so glad that someone is finally talking about the genocide and torture taking place in the Congo and Darfur. Inspiring. Thank you, NBC.
