Jonathan Torgovnik: Intended Consequences October 26, 2010

In 2006, Jonathan Torgovnik traveled to East Africa for Newsweek on a story about the twenty-fifth anniversary of the outbreak of HIV/AIDS. Torgovnik heard many horrific stories retold by the women who had been the victims of a systematic rape campaign by the militia groups in Rwanda. 'Intended Consequences' is the result of more than 3 years' research and photography by Torgovnik. 'Intended Consequences' presents individual portraits of the women with their children that are accompanied by the women's testimonies; intensely personal and honest accounts of the daily challenges they face and their conflicted feelings about raising a child who is a reminder of the horrors that they endured.
