DRC: PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER
On the evening of 18 September 2007, six army soldiers forced their way into Justine Bihamba’s home. A women’s rights defender who works against sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, she is used to intimidation. But this time the men attacked two of her daughters, kicking one and sexually assaulting another. Despite identifying the soldiers and receiving assurances that the perpetrators would be reprimanded, Justine and her family still await justice.
