A surgeon and gynecologist, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Muwkege has spent over twenty years treating women survivors of rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo and supporting their quest for justice. With a team of doctors and community leaders, Dr. Mukwege runs Panzi Hospital and the Panzi Foundation, which offer physical, psycho-social, economic and legal support to survivors. We talk to Dr. Mukwege about how he offers survivors hope and healing, in spite of continuous death threats and a horrific civil war.
Special thanks to Ngofeen Mputubwele who voiced Dr. Mukwege in English, and to the various podcasters gathered by Paula Rogo from Africa Podfest for also lending their voices to the women featured in today’s episode: Lulu Jemimah of RealTalk256, Nuura Abdi and Teddy Mmasi of The Chai Podcast, Munirah Kaoneka of The Kaya Sessions and Sharon Rwaky of Cinema Red Pill podcast.
