Support Christine Kitoko's Platform - Hands For The Heart

Miss AfriCanada 2012 Queen, Christine Kitoko's platform is to educate and mobilize people on the situation of civil war in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Congo’s situation has become extremely critical, with the occupation of its land by foreign troops and institutions that are looting its natural resources illegally. As a result, civilians are being abused and exploited, with women and children suffering the worst of it all. Below is a video, where Christine uses her talent to act out the real life horror occurring in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

Quick Facts

• According to the UN, 160 women are raped per week in North and South Kivu, mainly by armed men.
• According to the U.S. State Dept., approximately 1,100 rapes are reported each month, with an average of 36 women and children raped every day.
• In some areas of eastern Congo, 2 out of 3 women have been victims of some form of sexual violence.
