DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. Ituri province. Drodro. 2021. 

Machozi, 17 Years old: 

"I was married for one month then my husband abandoned me because I was raped. Two men raped me, my friend was also with me but they let her go and kept me. They told me to get naked. I went to the chief of the village and I asked him if I can stay in his house. I could not breathe, so the chief asked, 'why you look like this?' then I told him what had happened. He asked me if I could recognize the guys. I said no. He asked me to go to the police and report. My friend, she remembered the faces. I'm not sure if I'm pregnant or not. This happened last week."
