"...although the gents ignore the work that we fight against
discrimination and violence against women, we will always continue to fight. Here with us the violence of women's rights is raised because every day there is violence perpetrated by uncivil, killings,  and all were girls and women.

Congo violence has become a common, every day is recorded cases of violence among women."
