Title: Now, the World is Without Me: An Investigation of Sexual Violence in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
Summary: Sexual violence is deeply stigmatized in Congolese culture and many of those affected live in remote or insecure regions. Researchers from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative performed a retrospective cohort study of sexual violence survivors presenting to Panzi Hospital with the specific aim of answering the following outstanding questions: 1) When, where and how are women being attacked and what makes them vulnerable to sexual violence; and 2) How has the rape epidemic in South Kivu evolved over the last five years?
