Here in DRC, as in so many crises, women pay the highest price.   Their emergency care has been suspended because of funding cuts. And sexual violence against them is a weapon of war.

I’m in eastern #DRC, where over 20 million people need support. We’re planning ahead to stop deadly cholera outbreaks before they escalate – saving lives, time and resources. Humanitarians call this anticipatory action.
