Take Action: Stop the Violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Civilians in the Demoratic Republic of Congo are being raped and tortured by armed soldiers in the name of profit. Take action!
Goal: 30,000
•
Progress: 3,106
Sponsored by: The Hunger Site
Something horrifying is happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): men, women, and children are being physically and sexually abused by armed soldiers in the name of profit alone. The Congolese soldiers are the unofficial proprietors of precious minerals that are found there in the Congo. These minerals are used in many of the electronic items we used today, and are therefore in great demand.
The soldiers are using physical force to subvert the civilians into excavating the minerals for them. They are also raping women. Send a message Congress asking them to solidify legislation addressing these heinous crimes against humanity.
Dear Congress member:
I was appalled to learn of the abhorrent human rights abuses that are happening right now in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's an utter abomination that the armed soldiers in the region are raping, torturing, and forcing hard, manual labor upon innocent men, women, and children.
I am writing to ask that you direct efforts toward providing the people of Congo with the opportunity to live free and healthy lives without the worry they will be captured and put to work — or worse.
The Congolese deserve the same freedoms we have. Please push important legislation through Congress that will go toward combating human slavery in the Congo.
Signed,
