I pledge to...

"When they got to my children, I was discouraged... We were all demoralized. But when I see the women come to me in search of hope, I say to myself, I must continue to struggle." ~&nbsp;Justine<br /><br /><br /><br />
<p>Justine Masika Bihamba is a founder of Women's Synergy for the Victims of Sexual Violence, a women's human rights organization working in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Because of her work, <b>Justine and her family have been targeted by the DRC military.</b></p>
<br /><br /><br />
<p>Last year soldiers broke into her home and <b>assaulted two of her children.</b> Since the attack, her two daughters have fled the country out of fear for their safety.</p>
<br /><br /><br />
<p>Justine is an example of the many human rights defenders around the world who risk their jobs, their freedom and their very lives to combat injustice. <b>Still no investigation has been held into the attacks</b> on the Bihamba family. You can support their important work and help protect their lives simply by sending a letter.</p>
<br /><br /><br />
<p>Join with Amnesty International members across the U. S. and call on Congress to support legislation that will help stop the violence against women.</p>
