Recently, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton traveled to a place deemed as one of the most dangerous places for a woman to be in Africa-the Eastern Congo. While there, she is seeing first hand the cruelty of violence and sexual assault on woman-during the time of war. Clinton describes her visit as an “incredibly emotional, overwhelming experience.” The USA has announced that it would pledge $17 million dollars “to stop and respond to gender and sexual violence in the [Democratic Republic of the Congo]”
On the Michael Dyson program Guest Host, Tony Cox looks at the movement against the atrocities committed toward women in Africa and discusses with John Prendergast the issues behind the conflict in Congo.
