What should be done about rape in the Congo?

Asked by MyNewtBoobs (19059points) June 11th, 2011

In terms of being raped, there is no worse place to be a woman than in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 48 women are raped per hour. Nationwide, 29 Congolese women out of every 1,000 had been raped. That’s 58 times the annual rate in the United States, which is 0.5 per 1,000 women. It’s used both as an act of war, and as “lust rapes” – you know, you’re so high on the bloodlust of killing you just can’t stop yourself from doing a little raping. (Source)

So I ask you: What should be done about this, if anything? Who should do it – the US? The UN? English-speaking countries? Your church group?
