Social Aid For the Elimination of Rape (SAFER) is a Canadian humanitarian-aid non-governmental organization that was formed in 2004. SAFER was created in response to the unprecedented sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The organization works in collaboration with staff at the Panzi Hospital, located on the outskirts of the city Bukavu, South Kivu, DRC. The Panzi Hospital has attracted a lot of media attention in the west because Dr. Denis Mukwege, the director of the hospital and Congolese gynecologist, treats women that have incurred a fistula condition as a consequence of the trauma of rape. SAFER's mandate is to partner with African grassroots leaders and hospitals by helping to sustain health programs and increase capacity to improve the status of women in regions where rape is used as a weapon of war. In September 2007, SAFER was featured in an episode of CBC radio Dispatches (radio program) as well as CBC The Current on June 21, 2007. == External links == * (SAFER website ) * (Médecins Sans Frontières International ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Social aid for the elimination of rape」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
