The United Nations has to be more involved with the invisible war in Congo.


For many years now, innocent women have been getting raped by bands of soldiers, child soldiers, and militias. The United Nations can only send ten ambulances, because they can only fit ten women in them. This means the hospital can only help 3,600 women a year, which is not enough. The United Nations has to start helping more because they would be able to get more help for these women and little girls. I feel there is so much more to be done, and the United Nations is not doing anything.

The violence is so bad in the Congo is so terrible. The women who are getting raped by the vicious men, they are forcing the sons to rape their mothers, if the sons refused, then they would get shot. In some cases the drug crazed soldiers would pull triggers at the women, and use violence. Now, if the United Nations would help some more, and get mental help for the raped women, or get them to a safe place, less and less of this would be happening. United Nations could be able to get more ambulances to the girls, and women so they can get mental and physical help with the war in congo.
