Episode 37: Anneke Van Woudenberg

October 20, 2014 by Mark Goldberg

Anneke_VanWoudenberg_printAnneke Van Woudenberg first came to the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1997 on a drunken dare. The rest is history. In this episode, the famed human rights investigator discusses her life and career working for human rights in Africa. Woudenberg was born in Holland, raised in Canada, and schooled in the United Kingdom before she set foot in the country that would define her career. The name Anneke Van Woudenberg may not ring a bell to you –though it should–but Congolese warlords know and fear her. This is a fantastic episode with one of my personal heroes.
