Page iv Executive Summary The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has come to be known as the sexual violence capital of the world. Rape was widely used as a weapon of war in the protracted conflict that erupted in 1998 in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide. It is estimated that tens of thousands of women in the eastern part of the country have been subjected to sexual violence. The official end of the conflict in 2003 did not end violence and insecurity, particularly in Eastern DRC. Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) continues to be a common occurrence in Eastern DRC. Given the enormous consequences of SGBV and the particular situation in Eastern DRC, efforts are urgently needed to stem the incidence of SGBV in the region and mitigate its impact. The widespread stigma towards survivors of SGBV and their families, coupled with the general atmosphere of impunity and lawlessness, makes it difficult for survivors of SGBV to talk about their ordeal, seek redress and access care. Breaking the silence about SGBV and creating an atmosphere in which people feel safe to talk freely about SGBV is an essential first step towards eradicating this social problem. Efforts aimed at empowering communities to take a firm stand against SGBV and to take collective actions to prevent the crime and help the survivors are urgently needed. With funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the International Medical Corps (IMC) is working with local and international partners to design and implement a behavior change communication (BCC) program to address the problem of SGBV in Eastern DRC. The study described in this document is an attempt to obtain relevant information that will serve as the evidence base for developing a strategy for the IMC BCC program. The study examined community perspectives on SGBV in two provinces of DRC, North Kivu and South Kivu. We looked at perceptions about the causes and consequences of various forms of SGBV, perceptions about survivors and perpetrators, community understanding of legal provisions regarding SGBV, and community readiness and willingness to address the problem. We also examined perceptions about gender roles. There is a wide range of behaviors that are perceived in Eastern DRC to fall under the definition of SGBV. These include forced sex, intergenerational sex or marriage, sex with a minor, early marriage, transactional sex, extramarital sex, forced marriage, domestic violence, gender inequality and even neglect of parental responsibility. While the study participants decried most forms of SGBV, domestic violence, forced sex with one’s spouse and forcing a rape survivor to marry the rapist were seen as normative and tolerated. There was no consensus about the typical profile of the perpetrator, mainly because people from all walks of life have been known to perpetrate SGBV; no particular group is immune to including perpetrators. This study found that there are multiple layers of interrelated factors underlying SBGV in the study locations. These factors span structural, community, organizational, Community Perspectives on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Eastern DRC. Page v relational and individual levels. One set of overarching issues affecting the occurrence of SGBV includes poverty, political instability and widespread corruption, particularly severe in the post-war climate. Another set of issues includes existing social and cultural norms. The people do not see the government as trustworthy; corruption is rampant and well-known. Law-enforcement agents are known to accept bribes with impunity, which contributes to distrust of the government and the preference for settling conflicts without involving the authorities. Fear of stigma, lack of a sense of community efficacy to handle cases of sexual violence, and the culture of silence surrounding sexual violence make it even more preferable for families to handle cases of sexual violence outside of the legal system. Women are seen as the center of the household, caregiver for the children and a reflection of the husband and family. They are also seen as subordinate to their husbands and very much bound to them. The repercussions of a wife’s actions are seen to fall on the family and particularly to reflect on the husband. It is within this understanding that the situation of a wife who is a victim of rape or who is involved with any other situation considered negative reflects heavily and adversely on her husband and family. There is a noticeable disparity between how the community perceives survivors of sexual violence and their perceptions about what constitutes justice for survivors and their families. In general, the participants have negative perceptions about survivors of SGBV. The image of a survivor that emerged from the discussions and the word-listing exercises conducted in this study is that of a person who should be pitied and is sick, suffering, abandoned and neglected, exposed to discrimination, and emotionally disturbed. In contrast to these negative perceptions, community members saw more accepting attitudes toward

Existant depuis mars 2001, son siège social se trouve dans la ville de Butembo, a l’Avenue du Centre n0 40, dans la commune de Kimemi. Le présent rapport est une synthèse sur l’état de lieux des droits humains et de la paix au Nord Kivu pendant l’exercice 2010 car, dans la vision du GADHOP depuis sa création, ces deux domaines sont très liés. Nous faisons un commentaire relatant notre compréhension de la situation qui est suivi de nos recommandations à l’autorité provinciale et nationale pour l’amélioration de la situation au Nord Kivu. Nous mettons en annexe les tableaux des rapports mensuels sur les violations des droits humains et les événements de non paix comme les pillages, les vols mains armées, et autres. Ces derniers sont des faits dont on ne sait pas dire d’emblée qu’ils sont des violations des droits humains, sauf en cas de preuve d’indifférence de l’Etat congolais à éradiquer le phénomène (exemple de vols mains armés dirigés par des bandits.

Date of UN designation:30 June 2014. Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee: The Allied Democratic Forces (“ADF”) was created in 1995 and is located in the mountainous DRC-Uganda border area. According to the United Nations Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (“GOE”) 2013 final report, citing Ugandan officials and UN sources, in 2013 the ADF had an estimated strength of 1 200 to 1 500 armed fighters located in north-east Beni Territory of North Kivu province, close to the border with Uganda. These same sources estimate ADF's total membership — including women and children — to be between 1 600 and 2 500. Due to offensive military operations by the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC) and the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) conducted in 2013 and 2014, ADF has dispersed its fighters to numerous smaller bases, and moved women and children to areas west of Beni, and along the Ituri- North Kivu border.
