BECAUSE EVERY MAN, HOWEVER POWERFUL, CAME FROM A WOMAN, EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND PROTECTED !

WORDS . . . (why Femicide ?)

An improper choice of words leads to a misleading history.
The history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is being written with the wrong words : Rape, War, Militias, Dissidents, etc.

RAPE

In the D. R. Congo, formerly known as Zaire, the atrocities done unto women are being called "rape".
But by the definition of rape : "Non-consensual sexual intercourse, sexual assault", we find that the actions done to women surpass that definition.
Therefore, we cannot call "rape" the sexual torture that women are undergoing in the Kivu region of the Congo-Zaire.

GENOCIDE ?

We have been denied by International Organizations the use of the word Genocide for these crimes against women. By definition supposedly, the word does not fit the facts :
A genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.
Although these crimes are being committed on Congolese women by foreigners, supposedly the massacres cannot be considered as a genocide.

We call what's being committed in the Kivu region of the D.R. Congo
A FEMICIDE : an extermination of women.
That word best describes the evil scheme to depopulate the Kivu region of the Congo-Zaire.

What better way to depopulate a region than destroying the reproductive capability of women ? Obviously the criminals are taking over those areas, rich in minerals, which they can repopulate themselves or prepare for whomever sent them. They use different techniques to terrorize, destroy physically or infect women with diseases.
