CHICAGO/TORONTO: CPT report on delegation to Democratic Republic of Congo
now available.
A Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) delegation of eleven women traveled to
the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) 18 October to 4 November
to meet with women who have experienced rape and sexual assault, as well as
women's organizations, human rights groups, and churches working with them.
The diverse delegation included women from the U.S., the DRC, Colombia, and
Kenya.
The delegation was charged with the task of learning about how the conflict
in the DRC has affected Congolese women and supporting their efforts
towards peace and change by amplifying their voices in the international
community.
A detailed report of the delegation can be found on the CPT website at:

Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) seeks to enlist the whole church in
organized, nonviolent alternatives to war and places teams of trained
peacemakers in regions of lethal conflict. Originally a violence-reduction
initiative of the historic peace churches (Mennonite, Church of the Brethren
and Quaker), CPT now enjoys support and membership from a wide range of
Christian denominations.
