"The pair are not shy about sharing their experiences -- they want to let the world know what happened, and what is still happening."
- Carol Sanders, Winnipeg Free PressNews media coverage of Ododo Wa shows transnational issues and themes about addressing sexual violence in conflict. There are connections between survivor-centred approaches, advocacy through storytelling, Acan’s and Amony’s stories, and broader experiences of war. In November 2021, survivors convened for a hearing in Kinshasa and the Ododo Wa traveling exhibit launched.
As the exhibit continues its journey issues of stigma, breaking the silence among survivors, and seeking justice continue to be important. News media creates a platform for survivors to share their message. The exhibit's next destination is the Peace Museum in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
