« Let Us Live! » — A Christian Essay on Violence in Armed Conflict (ed. Bernard Ugeux)
A cry, not a marketing title. Born from an international ecumenical gathering in Bukavu in 2012, this collective book speaks directly to the women and children living through the violence of armed conflict in eastern DRC — and to anyone who wants to act rather than merely be outraged.
A « toolbox », not an abstract treatise
Edited by Fr. Bernard Ugeux (Missionaries of Africa) with a foreword by Sister Véronique Margron, this collective working document takes a deliberately concrete pastoral approach. It gathers the outcomes of a meeting held in Bukavu from July 17 to 27, 2012, bringing together local and international experts around the violence endured by women and children in armed conflict.
Letters, not just analysis
What sets the book apart: it offers letters addressed directly to the different groups involved — women victims, children, families, perpetrators, women leaders, communities — rather than sticking to theoretical discourse. Theological reflection sheets are added for readers who want to go further.
A text for anyone engaged in the fight against violence in conflict settings, anywhere in the world.
