Free legal aid under Congolese law

Free legal assistance for litigants who are victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo is currently in disarray due to a lack of competent services to do so. This is explained by the interventions of NGOs to strengthen the State in its traditional missions of protecting people and their property as well as their access to justice in the event of abuse to obtain reparations.This work concerns itself with fundamental questions: "How do we determine the indigence of a litigant?"; "What role is the Congolese State called upon to financially cover the actors"; "Is the State able to fulfill this role?"To achieve this, the author suggests using the information described in this work which is primarily of interest to public authorities, NGOs and the Bar. Then, they are of interest to the Lawyer - advisor intervening in Pro deo who is obliged to help destitute litigants who are victims of sexual violence to obtain compensation for any damage suffered.This is the best way for the poor to access the judge in cases of proven sexual violence.
