Rest Easy MRs Masika may God be with you your work were on earth will never be forgotten 🕊🕊🕊🕊
Breaks my heart😢
This is heartbreaking and so tough to watch. Those powerful women are held down by their societies and live like chattel. In a patriarchal society, why aren’t the men pushing to protect their wives, daughters, sisters, aunts etc. It is not right and unfortunately the “men” don’t seem to want much change, or at least not enough of them to make any difference. I hope one day these women will be empowered enough to band together, rise up and do what is necessary to end sexual violence. Whatever that might entail. 1 is weak, 10,123 is an army. No one, no man, woman and especially child should suffer sexual violence.
The men are too cowardly to protect their own women and too weak minded to realize they are shooting themselves in the foot by punishing the victims of these crimes. Sending their own mothers, sisters, and family to die for another mans crimes. That is just part of the absolute STUPIDITY that is "patriarchal logoc" .
You've got to be the lowest pos out there to use sexual violence to prove your own strength. Lowest of there f***ing low! Not even human! Then those who shame the women and offspring show they're scumbags as well. I feel so bad for all these women girls and children, what they go through is unimaginable and may they find some peace in their lives
WOW that is so sad 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I pray pray so hard for these women, so many of us been through the same thing, it’s not fair it’s not right. Why as humans we think this is okay? It makes me so angry.
The child soldiers:( a whole lot of children baring the burden of adult men conflicts
How can I be of help
My heart is breaking
I'm not gonna pretend like they not looking at you like fresh meat. Girl!! I commend you but be careful
Free Congo ❤
So Rwanda is brewing terrorists and the world is quiet
WHATS SO DAMN FUNNY SIR IF THE RAPISTS CAN HAVE guns WHY CANT THE WOMEN HAVE GUNS OR OTHER WEAPONS AS WELL TO PROTECT THEMSELVES IM JUST ASKIN
….and we the viewers of this documentary all have blood on our hands with our cellphones and laptops etc….
😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God bless Georgeta….broke my heart watching her story💔
2 convictions …. A JOKE
This is why I stopped believing in God a while back. Humans are a pestilence. Nothing but evil.
Well this video was quite disturbing and hard to watch. The fact that these women never feel safe is heart-wrenching and the fact that it is no different for children is heart-breaking.
What do our societies allow to happen? And why? This is a hard punch to the stomach, and a ripping on the soul to watch. The strength of these women and girls, against all odds it would seem, and with families disowning them, is something of a higher power.
There is no shame. The fact that such a horrible act is treated that way instead of punished, especially with children, is proof of just how awful the law is. The women have the right to defend themselves, and should have the knowledge to do so.
Can men understand why we feel bitter?
Is there anyway we can help these women financially ? Wish they have a site to donate for these women.
This doctor is a saint and I hope he has people to talk to as well. Its hard to see this stuff every day and has lead a lot of people to do the worst.
Living in that kind of environment,makes everyone desensitized to everything,,the strong pray on the weak an vunreble,,,,
There needs to be consequences for this. Praying for those girls effect by this 🙏
The raped women join together to garden and build things better. Wow such strong women. I am sorry they went through this
16 year old male, THis shii is really fked up bro. I really want to do something but don't know
Men 💔🥲
Masika was such an incredible person.
Omg at 16:01 when he took the 6 year old off the table to hug her.. she was just a tiny baby. That is so bad. I hate this for her! & for her mom & everyone! Wow
His smile when he said “if a soldier is on a far away mission as a commander I cannot be fully aware of there actions” made me sick to my stomach
It is really breaking my heart women has to face this horrible situations. It should not happen to anyone 😢
my heart aches for all these women and children. this is beyond horrific and they are so strong. ive lost my faith in this world, in humans, in governments, when is it going to end when is the rest of the world going to HELP when is the world going to start doing good things?
There is no god.
Has anyone here realized that there are international rings of child sex traffickers?
