Subject: Psychotherapy and the Body in the Treatment of Trauma
Title: Rape as a weapon of war in the DRC
This episode explores rape as a weapon of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We explore the experience of women who survive brutal sexual violence in attempting to answer the question “What is it like to be traumatised?”. We discuss the cultural complexities of this heartbreaking situation and outline a local Congolese initiative that is helping women reclaim their lives. (Original recording date December 2020).
