For ten years, the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) has been the world's deadliest killing ground as warfare and violence have ravaged the country.
Amidst the tragedy, rape is systematically used as a weapon of war. And children are forced to fight for armed groups.
Peace will come to the DRC only when this violence against women and children is ended.
Amnesty International believes that the United States can play a role in making that happen. They provide an opportunity to contact Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging her to use the voice of the United States to strengthen support for the UN peacekeeping missionand protect women and children in the DRC.
Secretary Clinton has said that women's rights are one of her top priorities. Make sure her promises become reality.
