Actress Sienna Miller is still haunted by memory of a rape victim she met while visiting the Congo earlier this year.
The actress was in the Congo in May with the International Medical Corps to raise awareness of the violence and struggle of the people living there, and according to Nylon Magazine she is still traumatized after meeting a gang rape victim who was violated by the butt of a rifle.
“I was just looking into her eyes, and she was utterly broken,” she said in an interview. “How can you have hope? She had been raped by men with the butt of a rifle. Her whole stomach had been split open, and I saw it. She was scarred all the way down.”
The woman was raped so brutally she will have to use a colostomy bag for the rest of her life.
