In the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, attacks and rape at the hands of roaming militias can be a devastating feature of everyday life. For Masika Katsuva, these experiences form a brutal part of her past, but they have been instrumental in inspiring her to help others who have had similar experiences. She works to offer shelter to the survivors of violence, as well as giving them the tools that they need to re-build their lives. Her website also features an amazing blog containing the stories of the many she has helped.
