Without coltan would there be Play Stations, cell phones, remote controls, etc.? This is just one of the major resources we get from Africa. In the Congo, 10 Darfurs have occurred since 97 but it has not received Darfur attention.

Listen to Lisa as she talks about the unspeakable rapes and crimes these women live through.

Hear what happens to families as mothers and daughters are raped in front of them.

Hear how mothers are forced to eat parts of their children after they are killed by soldiers.

Hear how rape goes unpunished and how often times rapists make bribes and are set free.

Hear how some soldiers believes raping a woman gives them strength in battle.

The United States supports the Congolese army. It is from the resources we get from the Congo that allow these atrocities to go on. Now that you know will you take responsibility or will you stand up for change?
