  1. “The work to be done is immense and requires the involvement of all stakeholders engaged in the search for peace and security at the national, regional and international levels. Our second-generation action plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) deserves the support of all stakeholders in order to achieve the expected results.”

  2. “On that occasion, the Heads of State of the region endorsed the recommendations of the consultative committee on women and peace and security for the region aimed at promoting the effective participation of women in political life and peacebuilding processes and combating violence against women and girls. Currently, several reforms are under way in the police, army and judiciary. We aim to recruit more than 20,000 young women with a view to reinforcing their presence in those institutions by ensuring that they occupy leadership roles. In conclusion, I recognize that there are several challenges to be addressed in order to ensure a better implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) in our country.”

  3. “Together with our Government, the Fondation Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi recently created a reparations fund for survivors of sexual violence linked to armed conflict. The Government has also put in place integrated multisectoral centres to ensure care for victims of gender-based violence. Those are important decisions that will bring a smile to the faces of many women who have been humiliated by such despicable acts. The state of siege that our President has decreed in the conflict zones in North Kivu and Ituri is one of the life-saving measures that is currently contributing to the protection of the population in general, especially women. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is currently chairing the regional follow-up mechanism for the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement, which hosted its tenth summit in Kinshasa in February.”

  4. “The Democratic Republic of the Congo has several peace mechanisms and initiatives that involve women, including a steering committee on the follow- up to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) at the national, provincial and local levels; a national secretariat for the coordination of and follow-up to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000); a network of women peacemakers that is currently being developed; and early warning and other mechanisms. The normative framework currently in place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo provides an increasingly favourable context for women’s empowerment, as demonstrated by the high level of women’s political participation in our Government, in which women currently occupy 27 per cent of the key positions.”

  5. “The Ministry of Gender, Family and Children of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, through its national secretariat for the coordination and follow-up of the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), is currently supporting the country’s provinces in contextualizing their provincial action plans for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) in order to allow each of them to be able to address priority security needs. That is how our country is working to decentralize the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Congolese women’s capacity-building in mediation techniques has been strengthened, and there is a network of women peace mediators being built in the country.”

  6. “Since 2020, my country has been pursuing its second-generation action plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), the objective of which is to promote a secure environment and guarantee the equitable involvement of women, men and young people in peacebuilding in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That plan is in line with the strategic drivers of our national gender policy, which outlines my Government’s priorities in that regard. We believe that new plan will enable us to guarantee women’s safety and ensure that laws are respected and penalties strictly enforced with regard to combating violence — especially sexual violence — against women, young women and girls, which is one of the priorities of the Congolese Government.”

  7. “However, as far as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is concerned, the Government’s substantial investments in recent years in improving the status of women have had little effect, owing to the resurgence of armed groups in the eastern part of my country. The support being provided to the terrorist groups that are devastating the lives of the women of my country is one factor preventing the advancement of the women and peace and security agenda in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In that regard, President Tshisekedi Tshilombo has been quick to denounce such actions towards my country, which are in violation of international law. Despite the factors I have mentioned that undermine the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) in my country, some notable progress has been achieved.”

  8. “The President of the Republic is known as a man of positive masculinity, owing to his efforts to ensure the effective inclusion of women in the management of the country’s affairs. My country spares no effort in investing in women, who are the key to achieving peace, by empowering them to be resilient so that they can contribute effectively to building lasting peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the entire subregion. My Government also believes in the invaluable potential of promoting gender equality and women’s leadership in order to achieve significant progress in the peace and development of our societies.”

  9. “Ms. Luseba (Democratic Republic of the Congo) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, and your country, Gabon, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of October and to thank you for convening today’s open debate on women and peace and security, on the theme “Strengthening women’s resilience and leadership as a path to peace in regions plagued by armed groups”. I would like to pay a warm tribute to His Excellency Mr. Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, President and Head of State of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who spares no effort to re-establish the authority of the State throughout the country’s territory and to establish peace in a peaceful manner, with the equal participation of women and men.”
