Nabintu, 30, was attacked by two Interahamwe rebels on her way to her family’s field outside her village, Kaziba, South Kivu. Nabintu tried to fight back but the soldiers stabbed her with a knife and she gave in. She was pregnant by her husband at the time. The doctor found her uterus infected while performing a c-section and so removed the organ. Nabintu said that her husband accepted her to live with him again after mediation through Apromar/Amama, but that he sometimes sends her away, saying he “likes not to see her.” Nabintu said he just used her for sex. Her husband left 10 months ago and Nabintu does not know where he is. She works small jobs to feed her five children an average of five meals a week. Two children attend school. Masumbuko has suffered from vertigo and severe headaches since the attack.
