Photo by @alisonwrightphoto // On this #internationalwomensday acknowledging all the inspiring #women that I've had the honor to meet & photograph during my journeys. Women like Dusabe in the Congo whose life was changed the day she went to collect firewood in the forest. I have such admiration for these women who show such incredible strength and tenacity in the face of adversity. "I’m from Masis in the Congo, where 90% of the women are raped and many people are killed everyday. There’s no presence of government there, only bandits, locals carrying guns. I was married with 7 children. One day I went into the forest to collect firewood and I was attacked and raped by four men in military uniforms. They left me to die but some local villagers found me and brought me to a hospital. I didn’t want anyone to know I had been raped but I soon discovered that I was pregnant. When my husband found out he ran away and left me with the 7 children. He was afraid of AIDS. And when he found out I was pregnant he didn’t want to raise someone else’s baby. Eventually his family and our pastor talked him into returning. Rehema was born a week ago. Now we say we have 7 children and this one. My husband said at least it’s girl, she can be useful and work and bring in cows when she marries. Global Fund for Women & PAIF have helped to move away from that terrible area and we now live in their temporary housing in Goma. Because we’re displaced people the children don’t go to school. My life changed that day I went to collect firewood in the forest.”
