CRISIS in DRC alarming rates of sexual violence in North Kivu - GBV AoR DRC 2023
Members of the GBV Area of Responsibility (AoR) in DRC, the coordination mechanism for GBV service provision led by UNFPA, have been urgently trying to scale-up services in and around the camps in North Kivu but inadequate funding has severely limited their scope. Only 23% of the GBV response plan is funded; $16M now needed to protect women and girls. A recent mapping exercise revealed that out of the 10 camps assessed, only 4 had basic health and psychosocial support services for survivors.
