The United Nations considers that the issue of sexual violence in the school environment had not yet been addressed in other programs and in the collection of data by computer tools, hence a very capital fight that should take place. expand into all 26 provinces of the DRC.

The bulk of the work falls to the focal points who represent FFC in those ten provinces, they have promised to give the best of themselves so that the expected results are achieved.

The Executive Director of the Fund for Congolese women believes that despite the efforts made to eradicate sexual violence committed against girls, there are still challenges to be overcome in oder to achieve a sustainable result. These challenges are the lack of knowledge on women’s rights by girls and their teachers, the difficulty in several jurisdictions for young girls to access justice against financially powerful and influential rapists.

For this collective fight, All organizations working in this sector must unite in order to hope for effective results for positive change in the community.
