The International Catalan Institute for Peace welcomes the recognition received by Congolese journalist Caddy Adzuba, on whom the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord has been bestowed. Adzuba, an activist for freedom of the press and for the rights of women and girls, has been honored as “a symbol of the peaceful struggle against the violence suffered by women, poverty and discrimination, through her perilous and generous work.”
The journalist, a founding member of “A loudspeaker for the silence” network, participated in a seminar organized by ICIP on January 21, 2010 entitled “The problems with information about sexual violence against women in armed conflicts,” which focused on the case of the Congolese region of Kivu.
