1 in 3 women is a victim of sexual violence in East Congo

Cobalt, copper, gold. The riches in the mines of eastern Congo contrast sharply with the violent conflict above ground. A conflict that particularly affects the most vulnerable: girls and women. They are too often a target in the struggle for resources, with Sexual violence used as a weapon of war.

Nobel Prize winner Doctor Denis Mukwege

Doctor Denis Mukwege is one of our key partners.

Does this Nobel Peace Prize winner need another introduction? He is a gynecologist and an expert on sexual violence in conflict zones. In Bukavu, he runs the Panzi Hospital, where our women receive free medical care.

However, not all affected women can access the hospital due to the overwhelming numbers. That's why we work with two additional partner hospitals. Here we cover the costs, thanks to our generous donors.
