Our mission

The promotion, prevention and protection of the rights of vulnerable children and women victims of abuse, through the strengthening of knowledge about their rights, adequate legal assistance and socio-economic reintegration.

What we do

LIZADEEL's community-based approach to combating Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) is a holistic response to provide victims with a range of services from the time they enter OUR care system at our center called CAJEMs , to their empowerment during their stay at our transit center.

CAJEM

Le Centre d’Assistance Judiciaire et Psycho-sociale pour Enfant et Mère, (CAJEM)in acronym, is a place of care for vulnerable women and girls who need to be accompanied legally and psychologically to aid in their rehabilitation. CAJEM offices are installed throughout the DRC.
We fight sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).

TRANSIT CENTER

LIZADEEL first set up a transit center for the temporary accommodation of victims in order to provide effective psychological support and prepare the victims with skills that can enable them to be self sufficient and be productive members of the society.  This center provides a temporary home and safe place for these women and children in their greatest time of need

LEGAL ASSISTANCE

LIZADEEL in its fight against Sexaul and gender-based violence (SGBV), is committed to accompany the victims in legal and judicial matters. To accomplish her mission, she collaborates with a collective of at least 72 volunteer lawyers. we ensure that these victims get justice at a helpless moments. 

ADVOCACY

We carry out several advocacy actions to encourage institutional decision-makers to implement international convictions and treaties ratified by the State, and to ensure compliance with national legal texts that protect women and children.
Thanks to this work, LIZADEEL is now perceived in the DRC as a reference organization.

YOUTH AND SEXUALITY

We strive to provide young Congolese with all information about sex and sex education including sensitization about HIV/AIDS and other sex related issues.
This information is all the more important since, in the DRC, youth constitutes one-third of the population and is one of the most powerful drivers.

RADIO

Community radio for the promotion of the rights of women and children and for the dissemination of legal texts in this area. Nearly 1,750,000 families across the country have been affected. LIZADEEL considers awareness as its  core battle .
Knowledge is power and we strive to empower women and girls of their rights and educate the public about sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).

Support  LIZADEEL

LIZADEEL needs more support to be able to expand its actions in many places in the country to reach more people in need. Every dollar counts. Every dollar you give will be used to provide more help to victims of abuse.
Any form of help you can give as a gift will bring tremendous joy and smiles to these abused women and children. Please help these victims today and change their lives.
