The '''Voice of the Voiceless''' for Human Rights (VSV), more commonly known as the Voice of the Voiceless is one of the oldest Congolese [[human rights]] NGOs in the [[Democratic Republic of Congo]]. Although operating mainly in [[Kinshasa]], its close collaboration with associations from other [[Provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo]] in particular through the National Network of Human Rights NGOs (RENADHOC), allows it to be represented in the main cities of the country.

* freedom of the press and more broadly freedom of speech (multiparty system and democratization of institutions). <ref>[https://ift.tt/2FLclXz Communiqués et rapports de VSV - 1999/2002]</ref>
