Sometimes the struggle for basic human rights seems overwhelming. Everywhere you turn, the same corporate interests, the same apathetic or outright hostile governments--it's enough to drive social justice activists to despair. Instead of giving up, though, plenty of people figure out ways to keep going, to draw energy from the oppression and pain and to win victories against incredible odds. Today we talk to Eve Ensler, founder of V-Day and the activist behind a year-long campaign to stop the violence, Rose Mapendo, a survivor of the war who was dubbed UN "humanitarian of the year" for her work with refugees, and Kambale Musavuli, student coordinator for Friends of the Congo.
