A Comprehensive Approach to Providing Services to Survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Addressing More than Physical Trauma

Posted on October 4, 2017

Presentation Summary: This presentation focuses in on IMA WorldHealth’s Ushindi Project, which built the capacity of key faith leaders and community groups in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to identify and provide support to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.  Collectively these faith leaders and community groups were known as Noyaux Communautaires. Overall, the project helped to provide medical support to 17,500 survivors of violence.
