Answer preview
Congo, and response services after rape are extremely complicated (Liebling et al., 2012). Cultural views of rape as marriage with a rapist eliminate care and affection to the rape survivors. Both the Congolese and foreigners militia operated with impunity since the 1990s, raping women and girls regularly (Liebling et al., 2012). In Congo rural areas, the children of rape experience social exclusion. Liebling et al. (2012) explain that children born of rape experience critical challenges on their identities. The children are often considered as dangerous to the community. The implication to the society is that these children can come back to society for revenge as rebels due to a lack of support, including their mothers (Liebling et al., 2012). Children also suffer from a lack of affection from their mothers who never consented to their birth (Liebling et al., 2012).
