Jeanne Gacoreke, based in Burundi’s capital Bujumbura, is originally a teacher by profession. She was one of the first people to publicly denounce rape by rebel groups and Burundian military forces. After decades of struggling to end gender-based and sexualised violence, supporting people affected by poverty and refugees and internally displaced people in Burundi, Jeanne Gacoreke says: “All in all, I have some reason to be satisfied with what we have achieved. Even so, the road is still long.”
