  Congo Sex Crimes 21 March 2005  
Congolese groups are trying to win justice for the victims of horrific sexual violence

Tens of thousands of women and girls have been raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s bloody war, but barely a dozen men have been convicted.

This is the stark finding from Human Rights Watch, in a new report into the prosecution of sexual violence in the Congo. 

Jenni talks to the author of the report about her work with the Congolese groups which are trying to win justice for the victims of shocking sexual violence.
