Title: “The Forum For Women: promoting young women on the job market in the DRC”
Introduction :
On August 12, 2023, the media Pourelle.info is organizing a major event in the Democratic Republic of Congo, entitled “Le Forum Pour Elles”. This day of exchanges, conferences and debates aims to highlight the difficulties encountered by young women in the labor market. By highlighting their capacities and seeking solutions together, this initiative aims to promote access to employment for women in the DRC.
The choice of the theme “Young women and the labor market” is not insignificant. Indeed, formal employment is often difficult to access in the DRC, especially for women who face many challenges and prejudices. Forum Pour Elles seeks to break down these stereotypes by highlighting women’s intellectual skills and emphasizing that employment should not be awarded solely on the basis of gender, but on the basis of merit.
Course of the event:
The Forum Pour Elles will take place at the National Museum of the DRC in Kinshasa, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. During this day, experts from the world of employment will take part in round tables, conferences and workshops to address the specific difficulties faced by Congolese women in their job search. The objective will be to find concrete solutions and open up prospects to promote access to employment for young women.
Beyond the event itself, the Pourelle.info team also plans to follow up with the competent authorities in order to implement the solutions proposed during the Forum Pour Elles. Thus, during the next edition, progress and results will be presented, while addressing a new topic relevant to the situation of women in the world of work in the DRC.
Mobilization and impact:
The Forum Pour Elles will bring together many Congolese personalities, experts and inspiring role models, thus offering a unique opportunity for networking and sharing experiences. The event aims to raise awareness among business leaders and authorities in charge of employment on the specific issues facing women. By encouraging dialogue and collaboration, Forum Pour Elles wishes to contribute to a positive change in the employment landscape in the DRC.
Conclusion :
The Forum Pour Elles organized by Pourelle.info is a major initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo to promote young women on the job market. By highlighting their skills and seeking solutions together, this event aims to promote access to employment for women, while fighting against stereotypes and prejudices. This is an important step towards greater equality of opportunity and better recognition of female talent in the DRC
