Lisa Jackson, “The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo”
Whitley Auditorium, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m.
Violence against women in times of conflict has been called one of history’s greatest silences. From the war zones of the Democratic Republic of Congo between 2006-07, Jackson’s film broke the silence of tens of thousands of women and girls tortured in the country’s civil war. Sponsored by the Liberal Arts Forum, General Studies, and the Human Rights International Film Festival.
