Rape is widespread throughout Burundi, though many cases remain unprosecuted. A 13 year old girl has been deprived of justice after being forced to make an out of court settlement with her alleged rapist.

Write to the Public Prosecutor in Burundi to demand that the alleged rape is investigated and the suspect brought to justice!
