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-chef Law no. 23/05 of 30/11/2023 on the creation, organisation and operation of the national order of midwives in the DRC.

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. Traditional and religious leaders from African Union member countries, including 10 from the DRC, will be committed to contributing positively to the African Union's decision to draft, adopt and implement the African Union Convention on the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls, as well as a zero tolerance policy on all forms of violence against women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations, as these initiatives deepen the essence of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights and the Maputo Protocol on the Rights of Women, and reinforce the AU's ongoing continental campaigns to end child marriage and female genital mutilation and to end violence against women and girls in Africa. The United Nations agencies in the DRC have provided technical and financial support for the organisation of the consultation held in Kinshasa in October 2023 (inclusive).
