WORDS . . . (why femicide ?)

Words are very important. With words, history is written.
A misuse of words leads to a misleading history.
The history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is being written with the wrong words : Rape, War, etc.
The whole world is being misled because of the improper choice of words.

RAPE
In the D. R. Congo, formerly known as Zaire, the atrocities done unto women are being called "rape".
But by the definition of rape : "Non-consensual sexual intercourse, sexual assault", we find that the actions done to women surpass that definition.
Therefore, we cannot call "rape" this general torture being committed on women in the Kivu region of the D.R. Congo.

GENOCIDE
We have been denied the use of the word Genocide for the crimes against women. Supposedly because by definition, the word does not fit the facts :
A genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.
Although these crimes are being committed by people from Rwanda on women of the D. R. Congo, perhaps women are not considered a racial, ethnic, religious or national group. Therefore, the women of the Congo may not "qualify" as victims of a genocide.

What's being committed in the Kivu region of the D.R. Congo is
FEMICIDE : an extermination of women.
That word cannot be found in dictionaries. That's probably because this femicide does not have a precedent. There have never existed such an evil scheme before.
Obviously, the purpose of the perpetrators is to destroy the reproductive capability of women. They do not seek pleasure or to quench some fantasies. The techniques for that extermination have been well studied and are being thoroughly applied.
