Stop rape in D.R Congo!
Riziki, 14, is a WCP Child Rights Ambassador in D.R Congo.“The thing I really want to put an end to in D.R. Congo is girls being raped... It is boys and men from different armed groups who are fighting one another who do bad things to girls. I believe it’s extremely important that boys learn about the rights of the child. That they find out that what they do is a violation of girls’ rights. If the boys knew that they would hopefully behave better towards girls and women than grown men do at the moment. That’s why the World’s Children’s Prize program is such a good and important thing here!
The Child Rights Ambassadors in D.R. Congo include several girls who have been kidnapped by different armed groups. Now they are preparing to support girls' rights in D. R. Congo.
“As ambassadors we travel round to schools and tell people about the rights of the child. I am really looking forward to telling boys about girls’ rights. If I manage to explain that boys and girls are equal and that we should be treated equally, D. R. Congo will be a much better country in the future!”
