RECOVI: Réveil Communautaire d’Assistance aux Victimes
We envision to promote a peaceful community without conflicts and violences which contribute to integrated and sustainable youth development.
The rights of victims are every bit as important as those of alleged criminals are, and in recent decades, governments agencies are urged to take part and establish laws to diminish violence as domestic violence, in armed violence and in armed conflict where sexual violence is often used as a tactic of war. We aim to reduce the rate of victims around the world mainly in our East African region and to change cultural norms around masculinities and guns, reduce gender-based gun violence, encourage government officials to implement a gender perspective in the development of national legislation and policies on disarmament and arms control. And to boost the full and effective participation of women at all levels of peace and disarmament processes. RECOVI is making an effort to guarantee and assist victims for their rights in a variety of ways by local and regional initiatives of violence prevention and of assistance to victims.
