Film and discussion
Film
screening, introduced by the director, and discussion about sexual
violence in war and how to stop
it. Guests from the DR Congo, Rwanda, Australia, USA as well as experts
from Norway and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Is the conflict in the DR Congo just a chaotic and incomprehensible inferno of murder and rape, towards which nothing can be done? Or is it possible to analyze the war and find and implement concrete actions to prevent sexual violence and torture on the scale we see in the DR Congo today?
Hundreds of thousands of women have been raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). Families and societies are destroyed. Rape has become a strategy of war.
Norway is committed to UN Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 1820 about women, peace and security. This event is an attempt to give policy advice to the Norwegian government about what to do to help prevent sexual violence in war.
We have invited a very competent and interesting panel to answer the question: What can the Norwegian government do to help prevent sexual violence in the DR Congo?
