  affecting 48 victims (31 women and 17 girls), namely rape or attempted rape, with
  
  1 case resulting in death. Civilians in some areas were significantly more affected on
  
  account of transhumance, including in Nana-Grébizi Prefecture. MINUSCA
  
  organized 26 awareness-raising sessions with local authorities, women’s associations
  
  and youth and community leaders to combat impunity and stigma associated with
  
  sexual violence. Additional sessions concerned rape prevention and referral pathways
  
  for survivors. MINUSCA and the United Nations protection cluster held three such
  
  sessions at sites for displaced persons in Birao.
