Help for women in the Congo?

---I found this article and was appalled. I can't imagine the agony these women are living in. Does anyone know if there is a group here in the US who is helping these women and others in the Congo?

BUKAVU, Congo—She walks slowly in padded slippers inside a hospital ward.
Bohoro Nyagakon, 30, is a woman with gentle eyes and a frail 5-foot frame, with a friendly 5-year-old daughter, Farjeka, playing nearby.
She is waiting in this cramped room — with dozens of others — to undergo a harrowing procedure: reconstruction of her vagina.
Gang rape has been so violent, so systematic, so common in eastern Congo during the country's five years of war that thousands of women are suffering from vaginal fistula, leaving them unable to control bodily functions and enduring ostracism and the threat of debilitating lifelong health problems.
Around the world, cases of ruptured vaginal tissue are usually caused by early childbirth and seen in such African countries as Ethiopia, Nigeria and Mali, where brides as young as 12 are too small to give birth.

Minerals in the Congo - including the component minerals used in cell phones and wireless technology - are fueling a private mercenary war for control of this land.

The Bushies are friends with and financing the factions engaged in this terrorism as well as in massive genital cannibalism.

Eating the penises and scrotum of the villagers makes them abandon territory to the corporate financed guerillas (and our tax dollars are paying for it).

This is the greatest human rights crime globally at the mom,ent and it is almost completely ignored by both the mainstream and "alternative" media.

Just see how many responses this thread gets (or not).

It is shameful.

Glad SOMEBODY posted it. Thanks.

Scott Peterson is more important to sell product and protect the media fascist owners who pay the rapists and genital mutilators.

especially about 'genital cannabalism'
