What are the primary causes of the high rates of sexual violence against women in eastern DRC, considering factors such as conflict, militia activity, and the lack of protection within displacement camps?

The escalating number of sexual violence cases in eastern DRC's Goma camps reflects the brutal reality of the ongoing conflict, where militia groups freely perpetrate violence against women, including abduction, torture, and rape. The high rate of repeat victimization, even within the supposed safety of the camps, underscores the lack of protection for survivors and points to a systemic failure to address the root causes of the violence. The overwhelming demand on MSF's resources exposes the scale of the humanitarian crisis.
