Lisa Shannon could not sit still after watching an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show that revealed the story of the world's deadliest conflict - a Congolese war in which scores of women are raped, and hundreds of men, women, and children are killed on a daily basis. Shannon sacrificed a comfortable job, left her fiancé and raised $50,000 to sponsor women in Congo. Once there, she documented a seemingly forgotten war and continues her work in the country. She tells the story in her new book A Thousand Sisters. She talked to TIME about the international community...

Group meetings are informal, and usually open with village gossip. Goats tied with rope to trees bleat in frustration; children squirm in their mothers' sari-covered laps. The facilitator begins with a story related to a local concern, perhaps about a pregnant girl with malaria. Participants work with picture cards, identifying the problems depicted and collectively venturing causes (e.g., stagnant water) and solutions (e.g., insect repellent, mosquito nets). The women...
