Qui sommes-nous
Mamas for Burundi Association (MAFOBA) is a non-profit association (asbl) initiated in 2015, by Burundian girls and women. MAFOBA is a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) which works for the promotion of socio-economic rights, peace, leadership, integration, socio-economic reintegration and social cohesion of predominantly rural communities. Our target group is particularly women and girls in rural areas, victims of social inequalities and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).

• Human rights: Failure to respect basic human rights, especially those women and children is a serious problem across the region of Grand Lacs. Armed groups continue to commit serious human rights violations, including the killing of civilians, raping and recruiting children. Domestic violence and is common in families, and attitudes lead to limited opportunities for women and girls who are not considered equal to men and to the boys. Many married women are treated as property by their husbands and are not allowed to make their own choices in life. The legal system does not work effectively, so that perpetrators of sexual violence and other crimes are rarely brought to justice. MAFOBA strives to raise awareness of human rights in the whole community and support victims of violence sexual and other gender-based violence.
