With the refugee crisis on the top of everyone’s social agenda, there is a population especially feeling the impacts of displacement and violence: women.

Actress Sienna Miller knows the trauma of women refugees well. She was inspired to go visit the Democratic Republic of the Congo after becoming knowledgeable of the rape epidemic there, where one woman is raped every five minutes.

Her visit, she said, showed just how devastating the situation was.

“I met two year olds that had been gang raped,” Miller, who is an International Medical Corps global ambassador, said.

 “The impact of what you see is completely heartbreaking and at the same time really galvanizing in terms of the need for all of us to pay attention to the world we are living in.”

Police say a man shot and killed a woman after she rejected his advances at an event in Detroit over the weekend. Five people were also injured during the incident.

Mary Spears, 27, was at the American Legion Joe Louis Post No. 375 on the east side of Detroit when the 38-year-old suspect allegedly approached her and began talking to her, according to WDIV.

When the suspect asked for her number, Spears, whose fiancé was also at the event, told him she was already involved with someone, WJBK reports. The suspect, however, continued harassing her, family members told the station.

A landmark case in China granted Kim Lee a divorce from her husband on the grounds of domestic abuse — a topic seldom discussed there. Kim Lee joined HuffPost Live from Beijing, China, and spoke to host Abby Huntsman about the violence she was subjected to by her Chinese husband, Li Yang.

“He sat on my back and hit my head into the floor 10 or 12 times,” said Lee, “It was extreme violence. Any type of violence is unacceptable, but it was extreme.” Instead of denying the violence, her husband spoke publicly about the abuse in interviews. Lee quoted that “his exact words were ‘yes, I beat her sometimes but I never thought she’d go to the police, because that’s not what Chinese women do.'”
