Women in DRC are experiencing increasing levels of sexual violence, often as a result of conflict, but support networks are being established and the perpetrators are beginning to be brought to justice, including ranking officers of the army
A multimedia exhibition at the Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict summit this week showed the important work of grassroots women activists in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo in responding to sexual violence in conflict.
