“Unfortunately, I ran into these men who raped me and took everything I held dear.
Tatiana Mukanire has been raped in her country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has been in the throes of violence for more than twenty-five years.
Rape and sexual violence are committed on a massive scale, especially as a weapon of war.
Tatania Mukanire was raped, like hundreds of thousands of women.
Some were pregnant with their attackers.
Children are born.
The young woman is campaigning today for the children of these rapes to be recognized: “They are no longer children, they are adults and many do not know that they are the result of rape. They just see the reactions of the people, the rejection of a whole community. And it will be a time bomb, a revenge that will not give its name. "
Even though Tatiana is traumatized by this event, the help of doctors and psychologists enabled her to cope: “In my country, we are not used to going to see psychologists.
I learned to live with my pain, I learned to accept, but unfortunately my family was not ready to accept this pain.
Today, her family and her husband support her and understand what happened.
Tatiana Mukanire describes the situation in her country in the video of our partner Brut.
