Sexual violence as a weapon of war is #Solvable

Sexual violence as a weapon of war is #Solvable. Denis Mukwege advocates for changing international policy and putting conventions in place to make rape as a weapon of war a crime against humanity.

Dr. Denis Mukwege is a gynecological surgeon and the founder and medical director of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo where he specializes in the treatment of women who have been raped during conflict. He was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018, alongside Nadia Murad, for “their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict.”
