A Sympathetic Ear:
A counselor, Sifa Muhima (right), listens to a rape victim at an ICRC-supported maison d'ecoute, or listening house. There is no sign outside the modest little house covered in plastic sheeting, but those in need know how to find the listening house where victims are given immediate medical care and support. Sexual violence in armed conflict, long underestimated, has only recently been acknowledged to be a widespread phenomenon. |
