In East Asia, millions of women, girls, and people with disabilities face persistent inequalities that limit their access to essential services and lifelong opportunities. An estimated 43 million children in the region live with disabilities, many of whom are denied education and healthcare. Poverty forces nearly 1 in 10 children into child labour across the Asia-Pacific region. Additionally, 1 in 5 girls are married before their 18th birthday, hindering their education and increasing their vulnerability to poverty.

Cet article raconte l'histoire du Pasteur Jonathan et de son épouse Brigitte, un couple de Kisunka, dans le sud de la RDC, qui ont vécu une transformation familiale grâce à la formation "Celebrating Families" organisée par World Vision en avril 2024. Avant cette formation, leur foyer était marqué par un manque de communication, des tensions et des décisions unilatérales de la part de Jonathan. Cependant, après avoir suivi la formation, ils ont appris à mieux dialoguer, à se respecter mutuellement et à prendre des décisions ensemble, renforçant ainsi les liens familiaux. Cette expérience a eu un impact non seulement sur leur propre vie, mais aussi sur leur communauté, inspirant d'autres couples à améliorer leurs dynamiques familiales. Aujourd'hui, ils encouragent d'autres familles à suivre cet apprentissage pour créer des foyers plus équilibrés et respectueux.
