Lawyer and activist of human rights.

"I have to rise on feb 14 up the following conditions under which victims of sexual violence live.
We signed texts that give the International Criminal Court warrant and the right to intervene in the DRC. And yet it has a fund for compensation or better reparation for victims of sexual violence in the DRC but they do not benefit. The irony is that when there is a judgment there are no more often the perpetrators have no means to compensate the victim. "
