February 12, 2025, Lusaka, Zambia- The Joining Forces Alliance expresses deep concern over the alarming number of children affected by Gender-Based Violence (GBV), as highlighted in the 2024 Fourth Quarter GBV Data Analysis released by the Zambia Police on February 1, 2025. The report indicates that 2,666 children were victims of GBV, accounting for 21.5% of all reported cases.

Every week, an average of 16 children are casualties of war. Since the conflict started, 659 children have been killed and 1,747 have been injured. Millions of Ukrainian children continue to have their lives shattered by daily violence, displacement, disrupted education, limited healthcare access, the effects of mental health disorders and trauma, family separation, and violations of their human rights.

This press release updates the consequences of the ongoing clashes between loyal DRC forces and the M23 rebels. With this press release, World Vision would like to draw attention to the plight of women and children who are once again affected and are in dire need of assistance. They need water, food and shelter. Children and women also need protection from all forms of violence. This statement is also an appeal to the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to these people, to whom the humanitarian actors do not yet have access.

This press release is an alert from World Vision in relation to the resurgence of armed conflict in Eastern DRC. Violent clashes between the loyal army and the M23 armed group have resumed around Sake, resulting in thousands of new displaced people, including children. The humanitarian crisis has just worsened and World Vision is calling on humanitarian actors, donors and the international community to provide more resources to people whose needs are now enormous.
