A Woman's Work
Many of my friends were shocked by your article, but I was not, having heard these horrible stories from Rwandan friends who survived the genocide, one of whom was held as a sex slave in Kigali and whose husband has since divorced her.
I am glad that so much space and thought was devoted to these events, which are so poorly understood worldwide, but it is a disservice to make it seem as if Pauline's participation was a gender aberration. Remember the two Rwandan nuns found guilty in Belgium of crimes against humanity? Women were part of the genocide, not commonly in perpetrating the violence but certainly in fomenting the killing (especially via radio), helping trap Tutsis and turning in Tutsis who were hiding.
