We have not seen it: Follow Emmy-Award Winning Filmmaker Lisa Jackson As She Travels Alone Through the War-Torn Jungles of Eastern Congo When The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo Premieres TONIGHT, April 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HBO Since 1998, a brutal war has ravaged the Democratic Republic of Congo, killing over 4 million people. Over the same time, tens of thousands of women and girls have been systematically kidnapped, raped, mutilated and tortured by soldiers – both from foreign militias and the Congolese army that is supposed to protect them. In the last ten years, hundreds of thousands of women and girls have been raped – but their suffering goes unacknowledged. Instead, they are invisible, shamed and mute. http://www.humanrightsblog.org/listings/2008/04/us_the_greatest_silence_rape_i.html http://www.humanrightsblog.org/listings/2008/04/us_the_greatest_silence_rape_i.html Films, TV & Music Tue, 08 Apr 2008 20:00:38 +0000 On Tuesday 25 March the human rights organisation Aim for human rights launched a website that facilitates the international fight against enforced disappearances.
