Pourelle.info, the first women’s media in the Democratic Republic of Congo, stands out by organizing a day of exchanges and reflection on a crucial subject: “Young women and the job market”. Scheduled for August 12, 2023, this event aims to allow young women to share their experiences, understand the obstacles that hinder their access to employment and find solutions together.
Esther Mpezo Omba, Publication Director of Pourelle.info and initiator of this forum, explains the choice of this theme by highlighting the difficulties Congolese women face in the labor market. Discrimination, stereotypes, dishonest proposals, women often find themselves marginalized and prevented from accessing employment despite their skills. The Forum Pour Elles therefore aims to break down these barriers, to highlight the intellectual capacities of young women and to promote equal access to employment.
The day will be made up of round tables, conferences and workshops led by experts from the world of employment. Participants will have the opportunity to address the specific difficulties encountered by Congolese women in the labor market, but also to propose concrete solutions. Pourelle.info also undertakes to follow up with the competent authorities in order to implement the solutions proposed during this forum.
The Forum Pour Elles will be held at the National Museum of the DRC in Kinshasa and will bring together many personalities from the country, experts and inspiring role models. This day will also be an opportunity to strengthen ties and professional networks through networking moments organized by Youlia Mawisa.
For more information on the program and the speakers, you can consult the Pourelle.info website or visit the site dedicated to the Forum Pour Elles.
In conclusion, the Forum Pour Elles organized by Pourelle.info is an essential initiative to raise awareness and mobilize young Congolese women around the issue of employment. By highlighting the difficulties encountered and proposing concrete solutions, this event contributes to promoting equal opportunities and fostering the empowerment of women in the labor market
