FIDH partners with 164 human rights organizations in over 100 countries and has worked to strengthen cooperation between the International Criminal Court (ICC) and national NGOs that are directly impacted by the Court’s actions. Its previous programs have confirmed the importance of the capacity building of local actors on international mechanisms, including how justice for international crimes can be achieved at the national level. The goal of this project is to consolidate access to justice for victims of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by strengthening the capacity of local NGOs to document and report these crimes, empower government agencies to make use of national legal mechanisms as instruments in the fight against impunity, support access to justice for victims, and contribute to the activation of prosecutions against those responsible for these atrocious acts. The expected outcome is the adoption of specific measures, including the establishment of national mechanisms, implementation of existing legislation, and declaration by national authorities for the prosecution of SGBV crimes at the national level.
