The new Government established by Judith Suminwa, which has a significant representation of women, marks an important turning point in the political history of the Democratic Republic of Congo. With 18 women, some of whom occupy key positions, this government illustrates notable progress towards more balanced representation within decision-making bodies.
We can only welcome this diversity and inclusion of women in spheres traditionally dominated by men. Indeed, the presence of women in positions of political and ministerial responsibility is not only a strong symbol of gender equality, but also recognition of the talent, competence and leadership that they bring to the management of public affairs.
Among these women, we find seasoned political figures such as Eve Bazaiba, as well as newcomers like Therese Wamba Wagner, as well as civil society experts and renowned technocrats. Each of them brings their vision, their expertise and their specific sensitivity to the challenges awaiting this government.
It is also interesting to note that four women have been appointed ministers of state, occupying important portfolios such as Foreign Affairs, National Education and Sustainable Development. This recognition of their talent and their ability to carry out large-scale reforms demonstrates the confidence placed in women to manage strategic and complex areas.
By placing women at the head of key ministries such as Human Rights, Higher Education, Social Affairs or Culture, this government sends a strong message about its desire to promote gender equality and protect fundamental rights. and to promote the cultural and social diversity of the country.
Finally, the appointment of women to the positions of delegate ministers and deputy ministers illustrates the government’s commitment to providing leadership opportunities to a greater number of women, thereby enabling them to contribute significantly to development and transformation. of Congolese society.
In short, this new Government demonstrates that the future of the DRC is built on the basis of inclusive participation of all, men and women, in the construction of a fairer, more equitable and more prosperous society. It remains to be hoped that this dynamic of inclusion and diversity will continue and strengthen in the years to come, thus paving the way for a brighter future for the entire Congolese population.
