This must be a contender:

This woman is in her 60s. She is carrying onions to the market. The market is about three kilometers up the road, over several hills. Just out of view, there are dozens of other women like her – all in their 50s or 60s, all walking barefoot – carrying these heavy onion bags to the market. Around here, men don’t do this “heavy moving” work. Only women.

Eastern Congo has been called “the worst place in the world to be a woman” and “the rape capital of the world.”
This is Bukavu, a big town in eastern Congo. In June 2004, this town was captured by a rebel group, and the warlord declared it an “open town” for his troops for the weekend. Wikipedia says 18,000 women were raped over three days.
