Description :
Vivianne (not her real name) was trained in providing psychosocial care by the ICRC, and helps victims of violence to overcome their experiences. "This work is important as people used to suffer so much without any support. But over the last few months, the violence has been getting worse. The stories I hear are more traumatic than those I've heard before, even during the previous wars. Most of the victims I see are victims of sexual violence, and the majority of those who commit them are from armed groups or involved in the fighting in some way.
