🇨🇩The Children’s Parliament | Witness

For many years the people of the DR Congo suffered the agonies inflicted by a series of devastating wars.

And despite a peace deal and a transitional government formed in 2003, people in the country’s north-east still live in fear of rape, murder, and assault by various military factions – with children being most vulnerable.

Now a dynamic group of schoolboys has created a unique project, run exclusively for children and by children – children who have made it their mission to defend the rights of others.

Issues such as sexual abuse within schools, accusations of witchcraft and incest are just some of the cases that the Children’s Parliament confronts.
