Gendercide or Femicide Is World Wide-Where Has The U.S. Been

Gendercide or Femicide Is World Wide-Where Has The U.S. Been the last 12 years? There have been 6 million dead men and women in Congo and 1.4 million people displaced. In that number, thousands of women and girls have been raped and tortured.

Babies as young as 6 months, women as old as 80, their insides torn apart. If this happened in the U.S. would be applauded that nothing has been done? If you witnessed this in Africa, Sri Lanka, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Haiti, would you be shattered and changed forever? I think that none of us would ever be the same.

Read this commentary of how Eve Ensler thinks of “Beatrice, who was shot in her vagina, who now has tubes instead of organs. Honorata, raped by gangs as she was tied upside down to a wheel. Noella, who is my heart, an 8 year old girl who was held for 2 weeks as groups of grown men raped her over and over. Now she has a fistula, which causes her to urinate and defecate on herself. They all live in humiliation…”

Eve Ensler tells of how she “was in Bosnia during the war in 1994, when it was discovered there were rape camps where white women were being raped. Within two years there was adequate intervention. Yet, in Congo, femicide has continued for 12 years. Why? Is it that coltan, the mineral that keeps our cell phones and computers in play, is it more important than Congolese girls and women?”

“Gendercide and Femicide Is World Wide-Where Has The U.S. Been?” Where was the Clintons and Bush administration while this was happening? Well, We know that the Bush administration was playing demi-god in Iraq and Iran. Their war was against an invisible enemy that they gave the people…but where where the Clintons? How could they allow these war atrocities happen and continue to happen? Where was the UN? Why has everyone stood, by while this happened?
