Matadi, October 27, 2024 (Fatshimétrie) – The recent event marking the establishment of members of the Women’s League of the political party Nouvelle dynamique kongo (NDK) in Matadi sparked deep reflection on the crucial role of women in society. The provincial coordinator of the committee, Prudence Diakanua Basilua, stressed the need for women to revitalize their true values and seize the development opportunities available to them.
During this ceremony, the importance of women’s autonomy was highlighted, encouraging them to wake up and take charge of their destiny.

In an inspiring speech, Prudence Diakanua Basilua reminded participants of the famous quote from former President of the Republic, Laurent Désiré Kabila: “Take charge of yourself”. This phrase resonates as a call for autonomy, responsibility and commitment to building a better future for oneself and for the community.
The presence of political figures and civil society actors at this event demonstrates the importance given to promoting the role of women in public life. The women of Dynamique Kongo are called upon to mobilize, engage and actively contribute to the positive transformation of society.
In conclusion, this installation of members of the NDK Women’s League in Matadi is a reminder of the importance of valuing and supporting female leadership. Women have an essential role to play in building a more egalitarian, inclusive and prosperous society. It is time for each of them to stand up, assert themselves and make their voices heard for a better future for all.
