Des vies périmées

Democratic Republic of the Congo, France
In the Kivu (Democratic Republic of the Congo eastern region) mass rape is one of the weapons most widely used by ruthless rebel groups. In this Region known as the « world capital of rape », a woman police colonel, Honorine Munyole is helping women, using her small office to interview and listen to them. Recently, she thought up a surprising new project: teaching women victims of rape to box! Beyond the psychological and moral comfort she wants to give them, it's an act of resistance, a way of fighting back in spite of all.
