Throughout the recent war in the Congo, tens of thousands of women and girls have been raped, brutally assaulted and abducted into servitude. As a result, survivors of sexual violence live with many challenges including medical and psychological consequences. They also face extreme stigma and rejection from their family and communities.

The IRC is working hard to make a difference in the lives of Congolese women and girls. The IRC works with rural health clinics and local groups so women and girls can receive essential medical services, counseling, and long-term peer support throughout their healing process.

You can make a difference by reaching out to women and girls in the Congo. Show your support by sending a message of solidarity to survivors of sexual violence and the courageous community workers who serve them on a daily basis.

Your words will be delivered through a network of community-based organizations supported by the IRC.
