How Kasharo a Congolese woman is giving Hope in the CONGO #congo #education #drc

I was introduced to Kasharo through a Keyan sister. I was on my quest to do nursing in the developing world. She said she has someone that needs the skills and expertise I am offering. That was the beginning of this sisterhood and my intrigue into the survivors of war. Through conversations with Kasharo, the founder and executive of Helping Hands for Survivors Inc. DRC, I have understood the magnitude of Rape on the female body. Rape is not an everyday occurrence but a weapon of war to destroy women and communities. The extent and brutality of the rape are unfathomable. Rape victims are as young as 8-year-olds. their bodies destroyed and by extension their futures. The brutality of it all is the instruments of rape and gang rape.  Due to this and the war, women have lost a sense of their purpose in life and living. Thus, having an overall impact on society. Having seen this sense of worthlessness, Kasharo decided to do something about it, thus creating an organization that cares for these women and children through its various programs. 
My sit down with Kasharo also delved into the rape of African resources and by extension its land and women. A connection many of us do not see. The problem with the Congo is not only one of civil war, the silent war rape of women- is hardly talked about. These women have no voice and no say in their bodies, women and girls become victims of historical and patriarchal views of women and by extension abuse.
