This project will explore the causes of sexual and gender-based violence in the North Kivu Province of the DRC and ways in which policy can change the injustice to women in this area. A literature review will be conducted to determine the incidence rate of sexual & gender-based violence cases and why the occurrence is so high. The literature review will be used to identify gaps in resources and health infrastructure. It will also provide a vulnerability assessment of women's health outcomes related to sexual and gender-based violence. Based on the research and the assessment, robust and achievable recommendations will be provided to encourage the development of programs that will help these women and ensure it is rooted in policy.
