The Congo Yetu Initiative (CYI) is an intellectually conscious and an independent organization working to promote peace, democracy, human rights, gender equity, women and children rights, and sustainable development in Congo, Africa.
Since 1990, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) entered a cycle of armed conflicts and violence, which strongly shook the Government in power, its institutions; destroyed its capacity to produce and tore its social fabric. The aggravation of the internal and regional situation of the Congolese conflict in the nineties generated a process, which contributed to: violence against women, being generally victims of rape, sexual violence, forced prostitution, transmission of HIV/AIDS; the creation of militia and an increase in the illicit trafficking of light weapons and a proliferation of the antipersonnel mines.
Since September 1996, the DRC experienced two successive wars that involved enormous losses in human lives and massive violations of the Human rights.
