“We found them in our house. They pillaged everything. They put my husband on the bed and beat him. Then two of the soldiers raped me. This story is so tragic - I can’t believe this happened to me. I prefer death instead of life. Now, the world is without me because of my situation.”
 
- 27-year old mother of three children who was raped in June 2002 and subsequently abandoned by her husband
