The conflict in eastern Congo has intensified, with rebels in control of significant regions of the country. This has led to victims of sexual violence losing their legal recourse and the destruction of many healthcare clinics that previously offered assistance.
As a result, survivors are left without access to crucial medical and legal services, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The situation has left many without the necessary resources to heal and seek justice, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention and support.
Human rights organizations and international bodies are urging the government and global powers to take immediate action to restore services and provide aid to affected communities. The lack of access to care not only affects the physical and psychological well-being of survivors but also perpetuates cycles of violence and trauma within the region.
