It's impossible not to feel heartsick after reading that Take Part article on Boko Haram's victims. This is exactly why armed groups use rape as a weapon of war -- it turns communities against their own members and leaves behind a legacy of trauma and hatred. It saddens and disgusts me that the victims AND their children are forced to live with stigma.
