Congolese men launch feminist group

Two dozen men in the Democratic Republic of Congo have launched a group to fight for women's rights in the region, which has been called the worst place in the world to be a woman. "Women's rights don't just affect feminist movements," the members of V-Men Congo said in a statement announcing the group's formation. "The stakes are global. It's about our common humanity and the future of our society." The group, led by Denis Mukwege, a celebrated doctor known for founding a clinic for rape victims in eastern DR Congo, was launched ahead of International Women's Day on Saturday, according to AFP.
