Billboard in Goma
{"Image ImageDescription": "A billboard in Goma urges citizens to say no to sexual violence and the spread of HIV/AIDS. Despite a 2008 peace agreement between the government and rebel forces, violence is still pervasive in eastern Congo and women are especially vulnerable. During a 2009 visit to Goma, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded to their plight by pledging US $17 million to support programs that assist female victims. (DL)People walk past a bill board sponsored by the World Bank that says in French, \" NON aux violences sexuell, NON a la transmission du VIH-SIDA  (No to sexual violence, No to the giving of HIV-AIDS).  The issue of sexual violence and AIDS are major concerns to a country that has been affected by war and many forms of violence against women.", "Image Software": "Google", "Image Artist": "Alan Hood", "Image Copyright": "\u00a9 Wycliffe Canada 2010"}
