“Until the violence stops.”
Activist Christine Schuler Deschryver speaks out about the horrific violence against women in her home, she describes it as “the massive rape” in the eastern part of Congo. The act has no sexual basis it is used a method of destruction. The women who make it to the hospital are horrifically mutilated. When she sees them smile again she wonders where they find the strength. Christine chooses “not to give up, to stay,” despite being “in danger every day […] because she denounces these people internationally.” She chooses to stay in her country saying, “V-Day says ‘Until the violence stops we will fight’, we will fight, believe me.”
“We will have our center, we are not looking for money nice clothes, for jewellery, we are looking for a roof and maybe food to eat once a day and these women will be happy and we will also be happy.”

“The pride I feel that with this organisation that grew out of this little play she [Eve Ensler] has raised more money than the entire US government has raised to stop violence against women” Jane Fonda.
