2024 CD4034 DRC Joint Response

About this project

The overarching key problem in all conflict-areas of the DRC is the lack of protection of civilian populations. Both the national armed forces (FARDC) as well as several armed groups frequently commit abuses against civilians. Sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) specifically is a severe issue, with rape used as a weapon of war and high levels of domestic violence. Protection must be mainstreamed in all sectors and interventions of the DRC JR to reduce the risk of SGBV and break the cycle of violence and trauma among people who have lost everything. Stand-alone protection activities will also be designed and implemented to provide assistance to the most vulnerable individuals and communities, with a specific focus on children and women. This could include, but is not limited to, provision of psychosocial support to survivors of SGBV or other forms of violence, strengthening community networks in the protection of the child, establish and train Community Action Groups, faith leaders and community leaders and hold community dialogues on the prevention and awareness of protection issues.
