Find out where your group pension funds are invested, especially if you're a teacher or a nurse. Very few people realize how pension funds contribute billions of dollars to keep mining companies going, which makes every one of us complicit in some way. If you use a cell phone or buy gold or diamonds or have investments in global equity funds, you're complicit. So, find out and do your part. Go, Mia.

Civil societies in western countries need to pressure governments and corporations to live up to their 'responsibility to protect' set out in international human rights laws that we've agreed to. Member states like Canada, the U.S., France and other European countries, must fund more peacekeeping troups.

Get involved: lobby, learn, talk to others and take some kind of action to help. There are many ways and no excuses not to act.

to maintain control of mining areas, trade routes & profits..

Almost none of the profits from mining stay in the country. Mines are almost 100% controlled by foreign companies.

6 million have been killed since 1998 - most are women and children.

Sexual violence and torture (Eve Ensler's work, Lisa Jackson's film, Breaking the Silence & Stephen Lewis's speeches) are used to genocide the Congolese, maintain chaos and play out proxy wars being funded by the U.S. and other private interests.

The DRC has a long colonial history, beginning with the Belgians,followed by a number of corrupt governments, often backed by the U.S. and foreign economic interests. A prolific global arms trade keeps the conflict going.

Read Madelaine Drohan's book, Making a Killing, and you realize that corporations with a huge vested interest in mining diamonds, gold, coltan (we use for holding the charge in cell phones and computers) and other minerals, pay private armies

Ooh oooh oooooooh! i get to do it! i get to say FIRST!... lmao...

anyways.. now that i've had my adolescent pleasures filled... ill comment.

"Mia Farrow?... actress?...charity?... why does it seem like these 3 words all contradict each other?..especially the actress/charity contradiction...

last time i checked, actors/actresses who do ANY sort of charity work , are only doing so for their own sick, and twisted publicity stunts... ESPECIALLY nowadays..."
