Dear friends,

We’re profoundly grateful for you signing our petition supporting the Congolese women’s plea for protection and humanitarian aid. 

While we haven’t yet had a response from the UN or the Congolese authorities, things are happening. Some media outlets have taken an interest, and we’re now collaborating with VOICE, a wonderful organization working with women and girls in conflict and disaster settings, amplifying their solutions to violence. We’ll let you know about the outcome of this partnership. 

Meanwhile, we still need you to help us spread the word and let the world know what is happening in Eastern Congo. Please check out our new video depicting the women’s protests that recently took place: https://youtu.be/IPQXcK9X8SA and please share it with everyone you know! 

An example of what you can write on Twitter, Facebook or any platform you can think of:
