Advocate for Congo
The Deadliest Conflict Since World War II
Your voice can be crucial to the people of Congo. By standing in the gap to present the realities of injustice to those in positions of influence to change the situation, we embody the Biblical call to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.”--Proverbs 31:8
Humanitarian experts say the on-going turmoil in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the deadliest conflict since World War II, with an estimated 5.4 million people killed since 1998. This is more deaths than Iraq, Afghanistan, and Darfur combined!
The DRC has the second highest number of IDPs in Africa.
Gender-based violence is so prevalent in the DRC that it has been called the “worst place for women to live in the world.”
The median age in Congo is 16.3 years. An estimate of only 2.5% of the population lives to be 65 or older
