Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for their time and presentations. Sitting here, it's really very heartbreaking and very hard to listen to their testimony.
I have a couple of questions. What are the main impediments in the DRC for the protection of women from sexual violence? To what extent has the government of the DRC shown political will to address sexual violence against women and punish those who are responsible? Please give us some specific examples as to how sexual violence is being used as a weapon of war in the DRC.
