<<'I can't explain how I am still alive': Dr. Denis Mukwege on risking his life to save African women.
In 1984,at the age of 29, Dr. Denis Mukwege moved to France from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to complete his training as a junior obstetrician. It was his first trip to Europe, and he had spent half his life savings on the air fare. The city of Angers was to be his home for five years, but he struggled to make it one. He would arrange to view flats and on arrival would be told that they had just been let. It took him a while to figure out that it was his skin colour that was making apartments disappear. He finally found a home in a houseshare with other students. When he took up his training position, he was astonished at how well staffed and equipped the hospital was compared with the one he had come from in the DRC, which delivered the same number of babies annually with just two doctors, as opposed to 30. Mukwege was already far more experienced than his peers in France. He had gained expertise beyond his years working in a small, under-resourced hospital where he operated on women and girls by torchlight and often broke away, mid-surgery, to consult medical literature for instructions.
Assisting in a caesarean section, he surprised a French professor who, puzzled by Mukwege's skill, asked him if he had done this before. <About 500 times,> Mukwege said. <Then why are you here?> the professor asked. After his training, Mukwege would return to the DRC and embark on a career that would save thousands of lives and galvanise doctors and activists globally. He became not only a surgeon, treating victims of rape as a weapon of war, but also an advocate, a champion of women in the DRC and across the world.
He understood early on that his medical work would have limited impact until the root causes of sexual violence were eliminated. So he ran his surgeries, but also challenged different armed groups, and his own government, for their complicity in sexual war crimes, inviting threats to his own life. This has made him an inspiration to feminists the world over. Michaela Coel called him a <real hero>. Jill Biden said that <beyond healer to these women and girls, he is hope>. The author V (formerly Eve Ensler), after meeting Mukwege in 2008, forged a personal friendship with him, as well as a pro-fessional partnership to raise funds and awareness with him. This culminated in the construction of the City of Joy in Bukavu, Mukwege's birth town in eastern DRC, <a safe space for raped women that offers protection, education, and inspiration for its residents>. Mukwege has been clearing those safe spaces for women since the first day he stepped into a small rural hospital in the DRC in 1983. Thirty-five years later, he found himself in Norway, accepting a Nobel Peace prize for his efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict. Today, Mukwege is talking to me on a video call from a hotel room in Paris, where he is on a whistle-stop tour prior to the French publication of his book, 'The Power of Women: A Doctor's Journey of Hope and Healing'. >>
