BECAUSE EVERY MAN, HOWEVER POWERFUL, CAME FROM A WOMAN, EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND PROTECTED !

GENESIS OF THE FEMICIDE

The Femicide in the Kivu region of the D. R. Congo really started in 1998 at the same time as the second war in the Kivu region.
It first consisted of a direct physical killing of women; some burned or buried alive in their villages such as Makobola, Katogota, Mwenga, Kasika, Kamituga, etc.
Among the first victims was the Queen of Kasika, killed on August 24, 1998 in the most atrocious way (her stomach cut open to remove her unborn twins) along with her husband, the King Mubeza, other royal family members and several other villagers, some burned alive in a Church.

The initial methods for the Femicide were too blunt to be sustained without bringing the attention of the International Community.
They changed the same year 1998, soon after the initial massacres, to more subtle but effective ways.

Although the culprits still, up to now, sometimes disembowel women or simply cut their throats or shoot them, the new schemes that we are witnessing are : raping women of all ages in public, inserting anything harmful in their genital organs to destroy their reproductive system and infect them with diseases.

Their husbands and sons, forced to witness the rapes, are left traumatized. They even sometimes become impotent or aggressive and vengeful themselves.
The results are the same or even more devastating than those of real massacres.
They are also much harder to trace or investigate because women, based on local cultures, hide their supplice.
And whenever they are discovered, the action done unto them is called mere rape.
It is not taken into consideration that rendering a woman sterile is a crime to an exponential level, considering the potential offsprings she would have had.

For the last 13 years, this Femicide has been run silently with worse effects than nuclear bombs.
