In armed conflicts around the world, sexual violence is perpetrated at an alarming rate – including against children. Multiple challenges limit evidence collection, preventing accountability for sexual violence. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Physicians for Human Rights and our partners are supporting child survivors of sexual violence through the creation of child-friendly spaces. After only six months of operation, these spaces have supported more than 500 children in the DRC. Watch to learn more about how we are helping children on their pathways to justice with our partners at Panzi Hospital and HEAL Africa.
Filmed in the DRC in partnership with Panzi Hospital and HEAL Africa. Produced by Hannah Dunphy, Deputy Director of Communications, PHR. Edited by Gabriel Baron.
