Overview
2014–present
Nearly 30% of women in the DRC have experienced sexual violence. We are working to change that. Pathfinder joins local partners in Kinshasa to address sexual and gender-based violence against young women and uphold their sexual and reproductive rights.
Project Activities
Build a strong local response to sexual violence & gender-based violence so survivors get the help they need without delay.
Train and coach service providers to deliver the high-quality services young people need, including lifesaving postabortion care, contraception, and HIV testing and treatment.
Mobilize communities to transform harmful gender norms that make young women vulnerable to violence, unsafe sex, unwanted pregnancy, and unsafe abortion.
Make sure survivors of sexual and gender-based violence are provided with legal support.
Call on policymakers to introduce and expand policies that protect young people’s sexual and reproductive rights.
