'La force des femmes' (tr: 'The strength of women') by Dr Denis Mukwege
Dr. Denis Mukwege, 2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner, is confronted every day with the monstrosities of sexual violence, against which he has fought tirelessly for almost three decades. "La strength of women" (fr: "La force des femmes") traces the social, historical, political and cultural context that guides its questioning of rape as a scourge of societies. What does it reveal about men, about their relationships with women? How do I end it?
The heroine of 'The Strength of Women' is the woman made up of all those women who continue to fight for their survival and for a world of healing, reconstruction and equality. The author pays tribute to their courage.
