Summary

Description
English: "First Lady Melania Trump poses for a photo with 2017 International Women of Courage Awardee Rebecca Kabugho of the Democratic Republic of Congo during a ceremony at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., on March 29, 2017" https://www.flickr.com/photos/statephotos/32909412353/in/album-72157681980941045/ "Rebecca Kabugho is an activist in the LUCHA (Struggle for Change) citizen movement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Despite great repression, everyday threats and the risk of arrest, Rebecca bravely played a key role in a series of peaceful and non-violent demonstrations demanding that the Congolese government hold credible elections in 2016 as required by the Congolese Constitution. In February 2016, Rebecca and five of her male colleagues were arrested and convicted of inciting civil disobedience while planning a peaceful demonstration calling on President Kabila to abide by the Constitution. Rebecca and her colleagues were sentenced and spent six months in a prison in Goma. During her detention, she was lauded by social media and the international press as the youngest prisoner of conscience in the world—she was only 22 years old when she was arrested. On December 19,2016, Rebecca and 18 of her colleagues were arrested again in a peaceful demonstration demanding the resignation of the unconstitutional government before being released a week later. Through her courage, Rebecca has become one of the main activists of LUCHA and an inspiration for many young girls in her country. The organization continues to advocate for positive change in the Congo through non-violent resistance." [1]
