To commemorate the International Day of Women (8 March 2019), the EESC is organising on Wednesday 6 March the screening of the documentary "The Man who mends women" on the life and work of Dr Denis Mukwege.
In 2018, Dr Denis Mukwege, together with Nadia Murad, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict".
