Fight Rape and Gender Based Violence in the Congo
Following years of conflict and poverty, the Democratic Republic of Congo experiences some of the most extreme sexual violence in the world. This epidemic has torn apart the lives of thousands of women and girls, who are most vulnerable and suffer the most rape and abuse.
There are people and programs working to end this epidemic and bring hope to survivors by raising awareness, educating communities and changing laws.
We CAN change the culture of rape and gender based violence around the world -- from our own communities to the farthest corners of the globe, but only if our leaders make it a priority to support programs that empower women and help survivors of rape and gender based violence get the help they need.
Take action today: Tell Congress to support vital programs to fight rape and gender based violence in the Congo and around the world!
