Geneva: the Congolese diaspora at the heart of international advocacy

Geneva holds a special place in human-rights struggles.

For the Congolese diaspora, the city represents a space where national causes can be brought before international actors.

Conferences, community meetings and advocacy turn exile into civic diplomatic action.

Congolese people in exile do not only tell their wounds. They also seek to influence decisions, reports and debates.

Geneva shows how distance can become a political force.
