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.

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.
