My name is Lorna Owens and this is my story
About
In 2020 I was watching 60 minutes with Anderson Cooper when I saw a piece called War on Women. Rape as Weapon of War. It told the story of the rape of the women of the D. R. Congo.
That piece changed my life forever. I have traveled to the Congo. I have sat and cried with survivors rape in D. R. Congo and promised to tell the world their story.
I have journeyed to Somaliland to teach at the Edna Adan University during Ebola.
Now I am committed to provide full scholarship for 100 women to be trained as midwives for Africa. For this we have partnered with Wisconsin International University in Accra Ghana.
