All the commotion she knew would follow the frightened her at first.

a simple life and a long happy life in a village at the Sinjarberget in northern Iraq. In August 2014, everything changed, when the ICE arrived arrived and began their genocide. Six of her brothers were among those killed when all the men were taken to the village school. Even her mother was killed as well as several of her nephews.

" We have seen the six million victims of this long conflict, several hundred thousand women raped. I can only take a break only when justice is skipad for all these women, " says Mukwege, who at the press conference specially thanked Sweden for the great assistance which he was able to build up their hospitals, and contributed to education in the country.
