DR Congo
48 Women Raped Every Hour
The central African nation of Congo has been called the worst place on earth to be a woman. A new study released by the American Journal of Public Health shows it’s even worse than previously thought: 1,152 women are raped every day, a rate equal to 48 per hour. That rate is 26 times more than the previous estimate of 16,000 rapes reported in one year by the United Nations.
