Milano, 1913, stralcio delle pag. 843/847 con illustrazioni. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

ril. Da giovane medico congolese, Denis Mukwege è testimone delle difficoltà che hanno le donne incinte del suo paese ad accedere a cure adeguate. Le loro gravidanze terminano spesso in tragedie. Nasce così la sua vocazione: si trasferisce in Francia per specializzarsi in ginecologia e ostetricia e sceglie poi di far ritorno a Lemera, tra le montagne del Congo orientale. Dieci anni dopo, in piena guerra, fonda l'ospedale Panzi per offrire cure alle donne vittime di violenze sessuali. In quella regione, infatti, stupri e mutilazioni sono armi strategiche delle milizie armate: colpiscono le donne per distruggere le famiglie e di conseguenza le strutture sociali ed economiche della regione. Sfidando le minacce di morte, Denis Mukwege decide di portare il fenomeno all'attenzione prima del suo governo - che a lungo si ostina a negare - e poi della comunità internazionale, e nel 2018 per il suo straordinario impegno a difesa dei più deboli e dei diritti delle donne riceve il premio Nobel per la pace.
br. «Verrà il giorno in cui una sola voce, quella di tutto il popolo e di tutte le chiese, si leverà così forte da spazzare via le forze del male. Solo allora potremo finalmente voltare pagina.» Da giovane medico congolese, Denis Mukwege è testimone delle difficoltà che hanno le donne incinte del suo paese ad accedere a cure adeguate. Le loro gravidanze terminano spesso in tragedie. Nasce così la sua vocazione: si trasferisce in Francia per specializzarsi in ginecologia e ostetricia e sceglie poi di far ritorno a Lemera, tra le montagne del Congo orientale. Dieci anni dopo, in piena guerra civile, fonda l'ospedale Panzi per offrire cure alle donne vittime di violenze sessuali. In quella regione infatti stupri e mutilazioni sono armi strategiche delle milizie armate: colpiscono le donne per distruggere le famiglie e quindi le strutture sociali ed economiche del luogo. Sfidando le minacce di morte ricevute, Denis Mukwege decide di portare il fenomeno all'attenzione prima del suo governo - che a lungo si ostina a negarlo - e poi della comunità internazionale, e nel 2018, per il suo straordinario impegno in difesa dei più deboli e dei diritti delle donne, riceve il premio Nobel per la Pace.
