The conflict in the Democratic Republic Congo has received scant attention from policymakers and the news media even as over 5.4 million people have died in the past 10 years. It is the deadliest conflict since World War II.

Fortunately, new organizations are now leading the charge to bring attention to the horrors being perpetrated in the ongoing crisis in eastern Congo. This effort has been led by the ENOUGH Project, a new group with whom we have been privileged to work.

With our help, ENOUGH recently launched a new site that focuses on the epidemic of sexual violence in Congo at www.raisehopeforcongo.org.

ENOUGH's work yielded results this week when CNN shined a light on the crisis by airing a series of stories, and published a commentary by RAISE Hope for Congo spokesperson Dayle Haddon. The series includes video from Haddon's recent trip to Congo with the ENOUGH Project.

The personal testimonies of these women and girls deserve our attention. It's good to see a major news outlet helping to carry their message forward. If you are moved by what you learn, you can sign ENOUGH's petition.
