THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF BOSTON
SUNDAY SPEAKERS FORUM presents...

Sunday, March 8, 2009 at 11:00am

International Women's Day
JANE NGONDO/ WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE for PEACE & FREEDOM
"Women of the Congo"

More than five million people have been killed in the ongoing Congolese war,
with thousands of women and girls systematically raped and mutilated. Part
of a powerful, prize-winning documentary film, "The Greatest Silence: Rape
in the Congo", will be shown and short powerpoint presentation made.

Jane Ngondo, a businesswoman and activist from the Democratic Republic of
the Congo will provide testimony and report. Discussion is to focus on three
dimensions: the crimes perpetrated against women, the complicity of
multinational corporations in pursuit of mineral resources, and what can be
done to stop the war and atrocities.
