USAID canceled rape survivor kits for Congo as conflict erupted

The Manila Times

USAID canceled rape survivor kits for Congo as conflict erupted  US President Donald Trump's administration canceled a major contract to supply emergency kits for rape survivors in Congo as violence surged in the east this year, leaving thousands without access to life-saving medication, the United Nations and aid groups said.  The emergency kits include medication to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, as well as unwanted pregnancies. The decision to cancel the contract for around 100,000 post-rape kits has not been reported previously.  The US Agency for International Development contract was intended to resupply Congo's war-ravaged eastern provinces for the year, and left thousands of health centers without provisions when fighting was escalating.   The State Department, which manages USAID, did not respond to repeated requests for comment by email and text message.
