GOMA, Congo — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton unveiled a $17 million comprehensive plan to fight sexual violence in eastern Congo on Tuesday, a problem she said was “evil in its basest form.”
Speaking during an unprecedented visit by an American secretary of state to Goma, in the epicenter of Congo’s war torn east, she said the American government will help train gynecologists, supply rape victims with video cameras to document violence, and dispatch military engineers to help train Congolese police to crack down on rapists.
