On the 5th of February, 2025 more than 100 women raped and burned alive in DR Congo jailbreak, UN says.
More than 100 female prisoners were raped and then burned alive during a jailbreak in the Congolese city of Goma, according to the UN.
Hundreds of prisoners broke out of Munzenze prison last Monday, after fighters from the M23 rebel group began to take over the city.
Between 165 and 167 women were assaulted by male inmates during the jailbreak, an internal UN document seen by the BBC says.
The report states that most of the women were killed after the inmates set fire to the prison.
The BBC has not been able to verify the reports.
Goma, a major city of more than a million people, was captured after the Rwanda-backed M23 executed a rapid advance through eastern DR Congo.
The city was plunged into chaos, with bodies lying in the streets and missiles reportedly flying over residential homes.
Footage from last week's jailbreak showed people fleeing from the building as smoke rose in the background. Heavy gunfire could also be heard.

FGM means female genitalia mutilation, and it’s supposedly meant to prevent rape of young girls…
The prevalence of FGM among women aged 15–49 in Somalia is 99.2%.
72% of women believe that FGM is a requirement of their religion.
Geography
Prevalence is marginally higher among nomadic populations (99.7%), but universally high in all locations
Age
Most girls are cut between the ages of 10 and 14
Type
Most women have undergone Type III FGM/C (infibulation/‘sewn closed’), which is also known as Pharaonic FGM/C
Agent
Predominantly traditional practitioners, but medicalised FGM/C is on the rise
Distribution of FGM/C across Somalia
In 2006, prevalence in the South/Central Zone was 99.2% and in 2011 in the North-East Zone (Puntland) it was 98% (women aged 15–49). There is no geographical breakdown available for the prevalence in 2020.
Across both Somalia and Somaliland, women who live in rural areas are only slightly more likely to undergo FGM/C than those who live in urban areas. The prevalence is highest among nomadic women, but is universally high (over 98%) among women living in all areas.
76.4% of women believe that FGM/C should continue and 18.9% believe that it should not.
While support for Type III (Pharaonic) FGM/C has declined in recent years, other types of FGM referred to as ‘Sunni’ remain popular. More than four in five women in the oldest age group experienced Pharaonic cutting, compared to less than half of women in the youngest age group.
