Advocate Julienne Mugaruka Byenda is currently participating in the Human Rights Advocates Program (HRAP). She is the Advocacy Officer/La Colombe ASBL in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I hope networking during my participation in HRAP will benefit my organization and the trans community because of the international human rights organizations, institutions, foundations, and donors I will meet in New York City. These meetings can lead to joint projects and funding opportunities for my organization.
