Denis Mukwege
Congolese surgeon, humanitarian, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Denis Mukwege has dedicated his life to treating survivors of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
As founder of Panzi Hospital, he has combined medical care with advocacy, challenging global indifference to the use of rape as a weapon of war.
His work reaches beyond the operating room — into policy, justice, and human rights — urging the world to see the survivors not as victims, but as bearers of strength.
This portrait honours his courage, compassion, and unwavering belief that healing is both a medical act and a moral imperative.
