世界卫生组织 (WHO) 供图：埃博拉幸存者贾斯汀·辛戈·恩古马 (Justin Singo Nguma) 在从疾病中康复后，与家人拥抱。
在刚果民主共和国 (Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC) 爆发的致命埃博拉疫情，对妇女和女童造成了不成比例的沉重打击。其中许多人身处一线，不顾高感染风险，照护病患和自己的家人。
根据 Mongbo 博士的说法，这种恐惧更是因污名、遭受虐待的可能性、被子女排斥以及对自身安全的担忧而加剧。

The deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has taken a disproportionate toll on women and girls, many of whom are on the frontlines caring for patients as well as their own families despite the high risk of infection.
This is evident in the city of Bunia, epicentre of the crisis, said Dr. Setcheme Mongbo, UN Women Representative in the DRC, speaking on Friday following a recent visit to the city.
"Women are not only present in health facilities as attendants, but also in communities and homes where they care for the sick, provide them with food and water, and even participate in washing corpses as well as funeral activities," she said, speaking from Kinshasa to journalists in Geneva.
According to Dr. Mongbo, the division of care and responsibilities at home largely reflects the Ebola transmission chain. That situation, she said, is what puts women and girls at the greatest risk.
Official data shows that more than 54 percent of confirmed Ebola patients in the DRC are women. Girls make up 51 percent of those in the 10 to 17 age group.
Dr. Mongbo said the effects also spread to children, since when women get sick, dependent children are directly affected.
"Women and girls are the ones who take care of their children and siblings without protective equipment," she said, explaining that they often continue to provide care even when someone is seriously ill.
