Gender-based Violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The Sisters Fund will support a two-week exploratory visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by a team of four U-M researchers. Visits are scheduled with USAID, HEAL Africa, and the Panzi Hospital, which treats rape victims. The team's findings will support a larger U-M effort to help end the ongoing, brutal, and systematic use of rape as a tool of war in the DRC. U-M will apply its collective expertise to develop interventions for the medical, psychological, and social needs of victims.
