VIDEO: Shattered lives

This short video contains interviews with victims of sexual violence in Burundi, Colombia and Liberia, as well as with MSF staff who provide medical and pychological support to victims of such violence.

"These terrible acts of violence continue to happen every day, especially by people who are supposed to be protecting these children and women - and boys sometimes," says Meinie Nicolai, MSF operational director. "By bringing this out to the public, we hope that people realise that it is not normal and that this kind of violence should end."
