Description
Written by survivors in Burundi, these poems are a call to action to faith leaders. They seek to address the silence and stigma surrounding conflict-related sexual violence within religious and community spaces. The words of the survivors echo the experience of silence, stigmatisation, and the courageous journey to break free from it.
