Shattered Lives

This video features testimony from MSF patients who have been victims of sexual violence, and MSF staff who treat them.

To mark International Women's Day, MSF released a report summarizing the organization's experience assisting victims of sexual violence in Liberia, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Colombia, and other countries. In 2007 MSF teams treated more than 12,000 victims, in both conflict settings and stable environments.

The report, titled "Shattered Lives," highlights the need for emergency medical care to be made available to people who have been raped. MSF also stresses that such services need to be truly accessible, with guarantees for confidentiality and the offer of comprehensive care.
