Hutus—including, in a savage irony, the female former head of Rwanda’s Ministry of Women’s Affairs—are being tried before the UN’s International Tribunal in Arusha, Tanzania. But justice has been slow: Only a handful of Tribunal cases have been reviewed; the 100,000 backlog could take generations to try. Even more outrageous, the tribunal provides antiretroviral drugs and care for accused rapists who are PWAs, but denies this to the raped women. How can this be? Tribunal officials say they are responsible for caring for the detained defendants but not their victims.

The Rwandan crisis is the most extreme example of the links between war and displacement, rape and HIV—underscoring the vulnerability of women and girls. Activists have a moral obligation to intervene where we didn’t in ’94. Let’s expose this indefensible argument by an international body that claims to uphold principles of justice and human rights. Let’s demand reparations in the form of HIV drugs for Rwanda’s rape survivors. It’s a realistic goal: Legal precedent and international funding exist. The most important—and missing—ingredient is political will. Instead, history is repeating itself next door: Rwandan soldiers are raping Congolese women in the regional conflict over diamonds and power. Our silence is deafening—and eerily familiar.
