Bringing Women to the Table to Address Sexual Violence

There are a lot of numbers in the article Bringing Women to the Table to Address Sexual Violence by Mary Robinson but I urge you not to ignore them or get bogged down by them.  Focus is being given to the fact that rape is a weapon of war as various groups meet in London this week.  Remember numbers like, "The oldest [rape] victim [of registered cases in the Congo in the past three years] was 80 years old.  The youngest was two."

They are the solutions."
