There is no doubt that the feminist movement in Congo-Kinshasa has existed for a long time. No one can question the struggle of women for an effective representation in power and in other domains of social life that require the contribution of men and women. Women's voice is heard and they defend their prerogatives as best they can. This is why her history is now quite rich in literature. The Democratic Republic of Congo already has a fairly exhaustive documentation on women, from legislation to doctrine. Despite this, most of the research focuses on the equality of men and women in their marital or family relationships. In some areas of social life, the place of Congolese women is not sufficiently revealed, particularly in the media, formal work, their place in parliament... This book offers the general public the outline of the history of Congolese women, the struggles they have waged since traditional times and the challenges of feminism, gender and parity in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
