When Rachel was 2 years old, armed men came to her village, which is 50km from Bunia, DRC. She, her sister, and her mother were attacked. Her mother was killed, and her sister had her arm cut off. Rachel now has a scar from the man who slashed her face with a machete. These pictures were taken when she was 5 and living in the Kigonze Refugee Camp in 2021. The article says she does her best not to cry when other children in the camp make fun of her scars. 💔
At the time of the article, UNICEF stated there were 3 MILLION children displaced across the DRC. They have no access to education and face an increased risk of rape and exploitation. They are also at risk of falling prey to drug use and being recruited into armed groups.
