answer text

<p>The British Government is committed to preventing sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The UK is concerned by the number of cases of sexual violence attributed to Congolese state actors. At the June 2018 UN Human Rights Council, we signed a resolution mandating an independent investigation into all human rights abuses in DRC, including sexual violence and those attributed to state actors. We also fund TRIAL International, who fight against impunity from sexual violence crimes, including bringing parliamentarians and those in the security sector to account. TRIAL International played a key role in the Kavumu trial in 2017, where 11 members of a militia were found guilty.</p>
