Stand with Congolese Women and Girls!

46
THE AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR A WOMAN IN THE DR CONGO

1.3
THE NUMBER, IN MILLIONS, OF ADULTS LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS IN THE REGION

800,000
THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE BECOME ORPHANS DUE TO AIDS

20
THE PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN WHO DO NOT LIVE PAST THE AGE OF FIVE


The people who have bravely shared their images with the photographers in this exhibition are experiencing the individual reality of the crisis reflected by these statistics. We invite you to show your support for the women and girls of Congo by joining our online gallery and being counted in their numbers.
