“THE WORST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO BE A WOMAN”
As part of International Women’s Day, Salome Ntububa, Christian Aid's Humanitarian Manager for Central Africa, will visit Stormont on 25 February, to raise awareness surrounding the issues of violence against women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Her visit will take place in Room 115, from 12:30-2pm.
Fighting and insecurity in DRC are undermining and complicating the protection of civilians and humanitarian access to meet growing needs. The latest crisis, centred on the east of the country, is exacerbating an already appalling humanitarian situation. As so often happens, women find themselves even more vulnerable at times of conflict.
Lunch will be provided and all Members are very welcome.
The attendance of female MLAs is particularly encouraged.
Please rsvp by Friday 22 February to kate.nicholl@allianceparty.org or by calling 028 9033 0811 and inform us of any dietary requirements.
