Description
A hospital in the Center of Africa
At a hospital in central Africa, two men were "rebuilding" women. The Kivu region in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo has been ravaged by armed gangs for about 20 years. To enslave its people and exploit its mineral wealth, these ruthless militants found a terrible weapon of war and armed conflict: the rape and mutilation of women and girls. Women were devastated, wandering among the ruins of shattered villages where all hope and dignity had vanished. At The Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Dr Denis Mukwege had been working for years to repair and rebuild women's bodies. Dr. Denis Mukwege's friend, Dr. Guy-Bernard Cadier, often came from Europe to help him and bring new technology. The two men, standing side by side, saved wounded women from a nation abandoned by a world that turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed.
A successful book
The book focuses on the intersecting trajectories of Dr. Denis Mukwege and Dr. Guy-Bernard Cartier, and their joint work for victims of sexual violence, going beyond a simple description of what the two men faced. The two doctors give us their view of the barbarism prevalent in Congo and sound a wake-up call to the world that what is happening there reflects the attitude and direction of a world that has forgotten to care about the other world.

Author
Dr Denis Mukwege
A Congo gynecologist long committed to helping victims of sexual violence during the Congo civil war.
The founder and medical director of the Panzi Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo, dedicated to treating women who were gang-raped by the rebels. Denis Mukwege has become a world authority on repairing the physical damage caused by gang rape.
He has rescued thousands of rape victims from the Second Congo War, some of whom were gang-raped more than once. He often performed as many as 10 operations in an 18-hour workday. He described the conditions of his patients arriving at the hospital, sometimes naked, and often severely injured.
In 2014, Denis Mukwege was awarded the Sakharov Prize, Europe's highest human rights award, by the European Parliament. Now 65 years old, Mukwege still provides aid to women ravaged by sexual violence in eastern Congo, which endangered him, however. On October 25, 2012, he escaped an assassination attempt, but one of his service workers was killed.
Denis Mukwege has repeatedly denounced mass rape with impunity and criticized the Congolese government and other countries for not taking enough measures to stop the use of sexual violence against women as a strategy and weapon of war.
He has spent most of his life helping victims of sexual violence in DRC and worked with staff to treat thousands of patients who have suffered such violence.
Mukwege had the opportunity to stay in France after completing his studies there, but he chose to return to his home country despite the violence that abounds there.
On Oct. 5, 2018, the Nobel Peace Prize was announced for Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict.
The Nobel Committee said in a tweet that Denis Mukwege had upheld the fundamental principle that "justice is everyone's business". The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize winners are the most important and unifying symbols of “the struggle to end sexual violence in war and armed conflict”.
Dr Guy-Bernard Cadière
A professor of surgery at the Free University of Brussels, and head of the Department of Gastroenterology at St. Pierre Hospital in Brussels. He is an expert in the field of obesity, specializing in the treatment of obesity through surgery or metabolic system modification with well reputation in the field for his treatment of both. He has been working with Denis Mukwege at Panzi Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo since they met in 2011.
