The RAISE Hope for Congo campaign aims to develop a permanent and diverse constituency that will work to protect and empower Congolese women and girls. The Enough Project will collaborate with national and grassroots organizations, across various constituencies and the political spectrum, to build this grassroots movement. Enough will also continue to provide policy analysis and recommendations, focusing on the 4Ps – Peace, Protection, and Punishment – plus Prevention. This multifaceted and multiyear campaign will provide a menu of opportune options, from which activists can select ways to get involved, including:

• RAISE Awareness. The campaign will provide activists with informative tools to educate themselves and their communities about the conflict in eastern Congo and the epidemic of sexual violence against women and girls.


• RAISE Your Voice. The campaign will provide a menu of actions that activists can take to raise their voices and call for an end to the conflict and sexual violence in eastern Congo. This menu will include a petition to the President of the United States, as well as tools for supporting legislative efforts, such as the International Violence Against Women Act.


• RAISE the Profile. The campaign will work with activists to raise the profile of the Congo conflict in the media and on the national stage. In addition to encouraging activists to write sample op-eds and letters to the editor, the campaign will ask supporters to urge the major broadcast news networks to increase their coverage of the Congo.
