“I was at home when armed men came in and killed my husband. They decapitated him and stole all our possessions‚” Congolese mother Mamie says‚ the trauma still clear as she recounts a brutal attack.

As if this wasn’t enough‚ the horrific situation‚ unimaginably‚ got worse.

“I was raped in my home‚ next to my husband’s body‚ in the presence of my children.”

Mamie – whose real identity is being protected – was recounting her story to Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Kananga‚ the capital of the Kasai Central province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo‚ in September. MSF runs an operation in the area‚ helping victims of sexual violence with medicinal and psychological care.

In Kananga‚ the levels of violence are staggering.
