Watchlist
A partner of Watchlist since 2005, AJEDI-Ka gave a presentation on its work to promote the reintegration of girls formerly associated with armed groups and the restoration of their rights. In partnership with Child Soldiers International (CSI) and local organizations, AJEDI-Ka provided reintegration support, including access to education, medical care, and livelihoods, to girls formerly associated with armed groups in Eastern DRC. From interviews with the girls, their families, communities, authorities, and others, AJEDI-Ka and its partners found that many girls face significant challenges to effective reintegration, including stigmatization, discrimination, and rejection by their communities.
