They’ve dedicated their prizes of R16-million each to address this evil.

Gynecologist Denis Mukwege has treated tens of thousands of rape victims in his native Democratic Republic of Congo.

He says his prize means governments will no longer be able to say they have not done anything because they did not know it was happening.

Yazidi youth activist Nadia Murad who survived forced marriage, gang rape and beatings says not a single ISIS fighter has appeared in court for similar crimes against thousands of her Khurdish speaking compatriots.

She’s hopeful her prize will enable activist like her to approach more governments in their search for justice.
