The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has spent decades in the grip of violent armed conflict, recurrent health and food crises and economic unrest. Security and health situation has severely deteriorated since 2000, displacing over 10 million people and leaving 25 million in need of humanitarian assistance. In the DRC, children, girls and women and face widespread violence, various diseases and malnutrition, and many people are extorted, kidnapped, and forced by their captors to fight or work.
