By teaching Congolese survivors of sexual violence vocational skills such as sewing and tailoring, this program offers them both a chance to pay for their medical treatment and a way to restart their lives when they are well enough to return home. Once trained, the women receive a small grant to help them start their businesses in their home communities, helping with their reintegration. Photos by Michael Ramsdell for JWW.
