This study, conducted by our partner organisation the Association of Women in Media (AFEM), aims to break the silence and address certain research gaps, particularly regarding sextortion in South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The research concludes that sextortion not only constitutes a serious violation of human rights but also hinders victims’ rights in other areas and undermines sustainable development as a whole. Sextortion exacerbates poverty and poses a greater risk to those living in poverty.
The research was carried out with the support of Kvinna till Kvinna and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
