This is a short podcast I recorded yesterday with Freddy from Women Concern DR Congo. I have been in contact with and working with them in their quest to help women in their area of Congo, which is South Kivu, for about a year. As an NGO in Congo they are understandably concerned about the humanitarian crisis that is happening in Congo as a result of the M23 rebels taking over Goma the capital of North Kivu. I don't know how much you know about the situation, but it is important to note that this isn't about Africans fighting Africans, it is much bigger, as always, and includes many western and Chinese companies and governments. There is a lot of extractive mining occurring in that region which is particularly used by technology and so-called green industries such as phones and electric cars to name only a few. Freddy isn't able to say a lot one way or another about the actors in the geno-cost, to keep himself and his staff safe and to enable them to work across regions as an independent NGO. As you will hear in the podcast most international NGOs including the UN have left the region, making this fundraiser all the more important. As people undertaking this path towards collective liberation, and coming to terms with the history of colonialism that makes our lives possible, I implore you to share the fundraiser in your networks and give something if you are able. Thank you so much. https://gogetfunding.com/emergency-humanitarian-response-in-goma-north-kivu/ Find them on: X @concern_women Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/women-concern Sowing a brighter future for Congolese women farmers One man’s mission to help women fight the patriarchy: https://thinklandscape.globallandscapesforum.org/71564/sowing-a-brighter-future-for-congolese-women-farmers/
