During a recent visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), a United Nations victims' rights advocate focused on identifying effective practices and addressing gaps in support for survivors of sexual exploitation and abuse. The advocate emphasized the importance of amplifying the voices of victims, ensuring they receive the assistance and justice they deserve.

The discussions highlighted the need for the UN leadership to be aware of the challenges faced by victims. The advocate called for stronger advocacy to enhance the support package available to those affected by such abuses. This call for action aims to improve the overall response to victims, providing them with necessary resources and relief.

The meeting underscored a commitment to not only recognize the struggles of survivors but also to implement tangible changes that can lead to better outcomes for the community. As the DRC continues to confront these serious issues, the focus remains on ensuring that victims are heard and supported in their journey toward justice and recovery.
