Announcement: Women's Month Protest in London

At Equal Ground, we are prepared to support any efforts and campaigns from other individuals and organisations promoting women's rights, both in the UK and globally. StandForCongoUK has organised a protest in London to advocate for women's rights and draw attention to the persistent injustices faced by women in eastern DR Congo. Women in this region continue to endure widespread sexual violence, migration due to conflict surrounding neighbouring countries, lack of access to education and healthcare, and systemic gender-based discrimination. These issues reveal the urgent need for collective action and sustained advocacy.

We encourage everyone to get involved in this demonstration to support women's rights and bring attention to the ongoing injustices faced by these women.

Event Details

• Date: Saturday 5th April 2025

• Time: from 11:30am

• Location: Meet up at Marble Arch station (London)

Why Your Support Matters

In the eastern region of DR Congo, women persistently encounter significant dangers and challenges, such as:

• Sexual violence and assault from M23 rebels (Rwanda)

• Limited access to education and healthcare

• Discrimination from neighbouring countries and economic disparity

How You Can Help

• Participate in the protest and make your voice stand out.

• Do some research and spread the word on social media.
