This week's top recommendation
A disturbing report about sexual violence against men, used as a weapon of war, a topic very rarely talked about. A journalist of the British newspaper The Observer has travelled to Uganda to speak to victims. The report focusses on Uganda, yet stresses that male rape is endemic in many of the world's conflicts.
