The Panzi Foundation - In honour of Amber Heard's birthday
Donation protected
In honour of her birthday, those of us who support Amber Heard as a survivor of DV would like to take the opportunity to donate to The Panzi foundation.
The Panzi foundation, founded by world-renowned gynecological surgeon Dr. Denis Mukwege, helps survivors of sexual violence heal and rebuild their lives as well as fighting to put an end to rape being used as a weapon of war. According to previous studies, it is estimated around 48 women are raped in Congo every hour. These women are often left with life changing mental scars and physical injuries. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/12/48-women-raped-hour-congo
With ongoing armed conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo continuing to seriously affect civilians, women and girls are currently at increasingly high risks of experiencing sexual violence, which is why we have made the choice to donate to the Panzi Foundation at this time.

Amber Heard has been passionate about human rights from a young age, and used her rise to fame to become a vocal human rights activist, advocating for the safety of women and girls around the globe. Due to where her passions lie, we feel donating to help women and girls in a place where it is needed now more than ever is the perfect way to pay tribute to her on her birthday.
