I spoke to one group that supports some of these people. As I said, it's all very ad hoc and not very organized in terms of groups working together. There will be a group helping a group of people, and then in another part of the country there won't be any help at all. They have helped 819 Rwandan women who gave birth after being raped, and of those, only 50 have revealed the truth to their children. They said it's a very difficult thing to do because the reactions are different. Some of them denied that they were even Rwandan after that, and they took on this persona of being Ugandan and they stopped speaking Kinyarwanda. Another one said a woman became a prostitute. Some turn very violent.
I think it's something that needs to be done in a controlled environment by professionals with support. I think the kids do need to know where they came from and who their father was. They need to be told in such a way that they know it wasn't their fault and there's no shame attached to it. The problem is they were born with this huge cloud of shame over their mother's head. Any woman who's raped carries this shame and guilt, let alone if she has to give birth because of it. I think it's a two-pronged thing.
Informing the kids about where they came from is definitely another area that needs to be addressed.
