MINOVA
Minova is a town in the Kalehe Territory in the South Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is an important business center for farm-fishery products. It is close to Idjwi Island, Masisi Territory and Lake Kivu on its North Western shore, and 45 km from the provincial capital city Goma.
The town's development is linked with important refugee-related history, including those from Rwanda in 1994, those from Masisi in 1992–1997, and other surrounding areas in northern South Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is known for being the site of the systematic rape of refugees by DRC troops. Many local organizations are involved in the management of Gender Based Violence (GBV) working to restore dignity to women and girls who were raped (Panzi Foundation DRC is one of them, and it is very active in the Buzi -Bulenga area).
