What happened to the female protesters in Conakry? [originaltext]On September tw

On September twenty-eighth, security forces attacked unarmed pro-democracy demonstrators in Conakry, the capital of Guinea. Protesters were shot, beaten and stabbed. Human rights groups and witnesses say at least one hundred and fifty-seven people were killed, a number disputed by the military government. But in addition to the killings, human rights groups say a similar number of female protesters were raped. Sexual violence against women and girls has been widespread in Africa, but rape has also been used as a weapon of war in the Balkans, Burma and Sri Lanka. The World Health Organization says one in three women around the world will experience some form of violence in their lifetime.
