Speakers

Rebecca KABUO, born in Goma, DRC, graduated in clinical psychology. She grew up in a context of war, poverty, social injustice and bad governance, which outraged her and motivated her to join the non-violent struggle within LUCHA. In 2017, she received the international "Women of Courage" award from the U.S. Department of State 2018: 100 influential women of the DRC 2019, won the "Young activist summit" and returned in February 2020 in the "Geneva summit for human rights and democracy." In 2021 attended at Harvard University the student and faculty conference on "The intersection of human rights and Covid19 throughout the world". In December 2022 Rebecca takes part in the UN Security Council meeting to talk about the situation in the east of the country, women's participation in the elections, and the public's expectations of MONUSCO in terms of protecting Congolese women and girls. Rebecca is currently volunteering with a collective in GOMA ACTIVE to help internally displaced people with basic social needs.
