Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child protection. More than nine out of ten children in the DRC have experienced some form of violence. Sexual violence is endemic with almost 40% of cases of sexual violence affecting children. Similarly only 40% of children under the age of 5 are registered at birth and only 13% have a birth certificate. 29% of young women aged between 20 and 24 are married or in a union before the age of 18. This is the national average with rates of over 50% and even 60% in some of the country's provinces. Finally almost 13% of children are engaged in one of the worst forms of child labor. Preventing and responding to violence against children is therefore at the heart of UNICEF's work in the DRC. Based on the evidence of the disproportionate deprivations vulnerability and exposure to violence and exploitation faced by adolescent girls in the country UNICEF has focused on addressing the multiple abuses and risks faced by girls through multi-sectoral programming as a flagship area of the child protection programme. Support has been given to the government to speed up its efforts to prevent child marriage through the revision of the DRC's five-year national action plan against child marriage and direct assistance to more than 5000 girls threatened with or victims of child marriage. In addition to promote the full participation of adolescent girls and young women in the crucial issues that concern them UNICEF helped the government to organise the first DRC Girls' Forum which brought together more than 100 girls from the DRC and Africa as a national platform for including girls' voices in national priorities and programmes. The programme aims to strengthen its activities to prevent and respond to sexual violence against girls and child marriages through innovative strategies to prevent social and behavioral change and the provision of appropriate multi-sectoral services in both humanitarian and development contexts. To this end UNICEF is also committed to generating new data on adolescent girls to inform evidence-based and contextualized programmes to protect and empower women and girls while addressing discriminatory social norms against women through innovative social and behavioral change interventions.
