In war-ravaged eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, sexual violence against women and children--much of it at the hands of armed militia--is the worst in the world. This evening will bring stories of hope from humanitarians who are working with survivors to promote their healing and empowerment. Platon’s debut film My Body Is Not A Weapon introduces us to Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Denis Mukwege, whose Panzi Hospital has treated close to 100,000 women recovering from rape and violence. Learn how music therapy and compassion are among the keys that unlock their grief and raise their voices, and what we can do to help. We all have a stake in this.
