I want to thank Congresswoman DELAURO for this important resolution that focuses again on one of the most heinous crimes of war known to humans: the rape of women. In the process of the Darfur genocide. women and girls have been targeted specifically. And I will let her speak more about this. but when women living in refugee camps. for example. were asked why they went to fetch water and risk rape rather than the men. they answered. If we let the men go. they will be killed. It is better for us to be raped than for our husbands to be killed.
