A new documentary by the winner of an EU rights prize highlights the stories of women who have been raped during the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. <br /><br /> The Man Who Mends Women focuses on the work of Denis Mukwege, a gynecologist who won last year’s Sakharov Prize.<br /><br /> In 1999, Mukwege set up his own hospital back home, which has treated more than 40,000 women who have been violently and sexually abused.<br /><br /> “The workers at the hospital in Congo earn roughly 100 euros a month.I’m being asked to pay taxes for 650,000 euros. It is not reasonable , it is arbitrary. It could even be seen as corruption,” he said at a press conference in Brussels.<br /><br /> Mukwege also called for fairer election in the Democratic Republic of Congo.A presidential poll takes place at the end of next year.
