Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, a First Lady committed to the DRC
Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, wife of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, is a prominent figure on the Congolese political scene. With her dedication and commitment, she has become a source of inspiration for many women in the DRC. Several articles testify to his numerous achievements, particularly in the areas of health and the fight against violence against women.
In the field of health, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi was able to implement concrete actions to improve the living conditions of sickle cell patients in the DRC. This genetic disease which mainly affects women and children requires appropriate medical care. The First Lady therefore worked to provide quality medical care to people with sickle cell disease, thus improving their quality of life.
Furthermore, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi’s commitment to the fight against violence against women is also welcomed. Its initiative through Fonarev (National Fund for Reparation of Sexual Violence) made it possible to support and accompany victims of sexual violence in the DRC. This action was particularly appreciated by Bineta Diop, Special Envoy of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, who encouraged the First Lady to continue her efforts and replicate this model in other African countries.
Bineta Diop also highlighted the involvement of Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi within the OPDAD (Organization for the Promotion of Development and the Empowerment of Women). She praised the work and initiatives of the First Ladies of Africa in their support of their spouses at the level of the African Union. Bineta Diop also called for greater representation of women at the negotiating table, in order to guarantee lasting peace. She encouraged Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi to take initiatives with political parties and the President of the Republic to promote this representation.
The visit of the African Union delegation to Goma, planned as part of its mission in favor of women, testifies to the importance given to these issues in the DRC. Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi therefore continues to play an essential role in promoting women’s rights and in building a more egalitarian Congolese society.
