Fight for Change – LUCHA RDC Afrique
Lutte pour le changement (Fight for Change – LUCHA) RDC Afrique is a civil society movement that advocates for social justice and encourages citizens to peacefully fight for the promotion and respect of human rights through campaigns and petitions.
In 2018, the Democratic Republic of the Congo saw the advent of a new government following long-awaited presidential elections. HRDs and other civil society actors were lauded for their advocacy as they worked tirelessly to call for a return to democratic institutions and good governance; their efforts played a significant role in the elections process. The advent of a new government is an opportunity to push forward the human rights agenda and ensure the protection of HRDs as the new president, Mr. Felix Tshisekedi, made commitments to respect human rights, to open up civic space ,and to protect HRDs who are at risk.
