Listen to the Congolese women in Minembwe: Provide protection and humanitarian aid!

Описание: Right now in our heartland of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, women are protesting in the plateaus of Minembwe, a remote and isolated mountain area. A war that had ravaged the region for more than 20 years was reignited over the past months, when Mai Mai militias in Eastern Congo launched unprecedented, systemic attacks against our community, the Banyamulenge people, now living in displacement. In a region where women have it worse, they are now rising up in protest and calling for protection and safety. Following the removal of one local police chief who had stood up for them and ensured their security, they have been left unprotected. Meanwhile, the UN base camps are failing to fulfill their mission of protecting, sheltering, and aiding the people in the DRC.

We stand with our sisters in Minembwe, and demand the UN and the Congolese authorities to offer them unconditional protection and support in channeling the humanitarian aid they so urgently need.
