UN Women in action: Strategic insights and achievements
View annual report narratives for the year
Women's political participation has improved, with 32% representation in the government, including a female Prime Minister, 42% in the National Assembly, 14% in the Senate, and 13% among elected deputies. This progress has amplified women's voices in ongoing reforms and strengthened synergies among female ministers, parliamentarians, and women's organizations. UN Women contributed by establishing a Resource Center to train female candidates and supporting advocacy efforts with political leaders. Three national forums (ministers and gender division heads, civil society, and parliamentarians) provided a platform to discuss the gender agenda and define priorities at national and provincial levels. As a result, national and provincial institutions have committed to supporting this agenda. UN Women collaborated with the UN, MONUSCO, UNESCO, the Ministry of Gender, and other key actors to reinforce this commitment. To sustain this progress, the TOSIMBANA leadership project will be implemented to foster solidarity among women in power and enhance their leadership. Existing forums will be strengthened to build a robust women's movement in the DRC. In the fight against gender-based violence, the DRC adopted a National Strategy for Positive Masculinity, supported by UN Women, to raise awareness among men and boys on behavior change. A validation workshop brought together key stakeholders, leading to the official declaration of March 31 as National Positive Masculinity Day. An implementation plan for this strategy is currently being developed. As part of the 3rd Generation National Action Plan for Resolution 1325, women mediators from the 'Synergy of Women for Peace' participated for the first time in the Luanda peace process. They met with the President of Angola to advocate for peace in the DRC and for women's inclusion in negotiations. Supported by UN Women, they secured a commitment from the Luanda process facilitator for their future involvement, with contributions from MONUSCO, the AU, and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region( ICGLR) Finally, UN Women and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region( ICGLR) organized a consultation workshop to develop a social cohesion program, integrating the sub-regional dimension of the conflict and identifying actions for peace consolidation at local, national, and regional levels
A slight increase in the participation rate of elected women in national legislative elections, from 10% in 2018 to 14%. Capacity-building for women candidates, with technical support from UN Women, helped to achieve these results. Alongside other agencies (UNDP, UNesco), UN Women supported women's organisations in their lobbying for the revision of the electoral law. Following this lobbying, an incentive measure was adopted to encourage political parties to include 50% women on candidate lists in order to be exempted from paying the deposit. 18% of women were lined up. These aligned women, grouped together in Dynafec, benefited from a capacity-building programme on election preparation, political communication, leadership and coaching; the candidate's handbook produced by UN Women was used as a teaching tool. this result is in line with pillar 1 of the cooperation framework, mainly with section 1.3, and also helps to achieve objective 5.3 of the MDGs.The Office of the President of the Republic has set up the Agency for the Prevention and Fight against Trafficking in Persons (APLTP), which in turn has set up a hotline for reporting trafficking in persons. UN Women participated in the preparatory consultations organised with the Ministry of the Interior as part of the fight against GBV . link https://actualite.cd/index.php/2023/12/05/rdc-la-loi-portant-creation-de-lordre-national-des-sages-femmes-promulguee-par-le-chefThe National Strategy to combat gender-based violence was revised in June 2020. UN Women is supporting the implementation of this strategy. An evaluation of the revised strategy's action plan is scheduled for the first half of 2024.
