KINSHASA: Women and children are being kidnapped by armed gangs and forced to work as sex slaves in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the medical charity Doctors Without Borders said Wednesday. "Victims have been held as sex slaves - sometimes for months at a time - and sexually assaulted violently by several men, several times a day," MSF psychologist Ana Maria Tijerino said in a statement.
