“The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that it is seriously concerned about the persistent cases of gender-based violence, particularly in conflict-affected provinces of Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu in the country's east. Between January and June of this year, 35,000 survivors received care. The actual number of survivors is likely to be much higher as only a fraction of them are reporting or seeking support. The majority of survivors in the DRC are women and girls, underscoring the urgent need to particularly strengthen their protection.”
