Despite some improvements in much of Central Africa, Civilians are still in danger, especially to sexual violence. Women and children are the ones who are attacked most of the time. Special representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Zainab Hawa Bangura, met with civil society representatives to try and come up with solutions to the problem. The crimes that are committed are punishable by death, says the representatives. Ms Banguras main concern is absence of resources to help people who have been victims of sexual violence. On a more positive note, the World Bank is working with UN Food to ensure that the country has the nutrition it needs.
