La fuerza de las mujeres

Dr. Mukwege, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018, has witnessed unimaginable destruction, pain that no one should ever feel, and has saved countless lives even at the risk of losing his own in multiple attacks. His tireless work healing survivors of sexual violence in his country of war-torn Congo has earned him recognition as a global champion of women's rights. In his book, part autobiography, part appeal against sexual violence in times of peace and war, Mukwege highlights the role of the extraordinary women who shaped and inspired him. In it he tells a story of struggle and suffering, but also of hope and resilience. He has seen thousands of women on the brink of death and heard their heartbreaking stories, but he has also witnessed how they healed, bought land, started businesses and helped rebuild their shattered communities. The book also denounces the rapes and sexual violence suffered by women in places like the United States, Europe and Asia, emphasizing at all times the mistreatment women face in homes and on the streets in all corners of the world. Finally, Dr. Mukwege appeals to men, guiding and encouraging them to become allies in the fight against sexual abuse. Through his personal example and his ideas, he hopes to inspire a new form of 'positive masculinity': a change in men's behavior and attitude that contributes to building more inclusive and gender-equal societies. .
