Gender and Inclusion
Every child deserves a quality education. It is the surest path out of poverty and towards a fairer Congo.
Quality education for all
Yet across the DRC, girls face unequal access to school, violence on the way there, early marriage and child labour. When they are left out, so are our future leaders.
Women, girls and everyone at risk of exclusion acting with integrity, demanding it, and building an open, accountable Congo that answers their needs.
Our approach
Since 2017, through Students Acting for Honesty, Integrity and Equality, we have campaigned for SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 5 (gender equality).
We mobilise parents, decision-makers and opinion leaders to get every girl into school, including girls living with a disability.
What has changed
monitors living with a disability now speak up for their communities
girls trained as community monitors in South Kivu
students at risk of exclusion active in Integrity Clubs
of Integrity Club members are girls
of local authorities more responsive to girls and excluded young people
Sustainable Development Goals impacted
