Can the UN Stop UN Peacekeepers from Raping Children in Africa?
By Mark E. Smith
A story about the brutality in the Democratic Republic of Congo inspired a lengthy discussion and a petition to the UN by some people who have been doing relief work there.
::::::::
The discussion is here:
Congo-Kinshasa: Women Left for Dead - And the Man Who's Saving them
It has a link to one of the sites where the full story was published, a link to the petition, and some explanations of why the petition might help.
If you don't want to read about children being horribly violated by people who were sent there to protect them, you can skip everything else and just sign the petition here:
Prevent and eventually abolish child sexual abuse by UN
Thank you.
