Nadine was a top student at her high school in eastern Congo. Then, in April, she was gang-raped by four men as she was gathering firewood for her family. The 17-year-old set off on a frantic search for help - first to her local clinic, where there were no rape kits left, and then to the hospital, where she was told that none of the medication she needed was available. It took her several days to scrape together enough money to travel the few miles to neighboring Uganda for medical care.Subscrib
