Mouvement des femmes et filles pour la paix et la sécurité (MFFPS)

The Movement of Women and Girls for Peace and Security in Burundi (Mouvement des femmes et filles pour la paix et la sécurité - MFFPS) was established in 2015 by a group of Burundian women’s rights defenders as the country slipped into violence following the contested presidential candidacy of Pierre Nkurunziza. At a time when widespread serious violations are still committed, including torture and sexual violence, MFFPS members help survivors of sexual violence and support them in their fight for justice.
