The confinement of women made pregnant by force or by trickery:

More about the book

The book delves into the complexities surrounding the legal and moral responsibilities associated with forced pregnancies in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It critiques the penal code established by a decree from 1940, highlighting how it inadequately addresses the true perpetrators of such offenses. The focus shifts from those who detain or protect pregnant women to those who caused the pregnancies, questioning the legal definitions and responsibilities involved. The author argues for a reevaluation of the legal framework to better reflect the realities of forced pregnancy.
