The role of First Ladies in the advancement of society should not be underestimated. They have the power to positively influence various areas, including health and women’s rights. This is precisely what is demonstrated by the actions of the First Lady of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, who was warmly praised by the Special Envoy of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Bineta Diop.
In the field of health, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi is committed to the care of sickle cell patients, a serious illness that affects many people in the DRC. His involvement in the fight against this disease demonstrates his desire to improve the health of his fellow citizens. This initiative was particularly appreciated by Bineta Diop, who wanted this model to be reproduced in other African countries.
In addition to her commitment to health, the First Lady is also involved in the fight against violence against women. Her initiative within Fonarev, which aims to protect women victims of violence, was welcomed by Bineta Diop, who sees this project as an example to follow. She encourages Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi to continue to initiate actions in favor of women and to work with political parties and the President of the Republic to promote greater representation of women in decision-making.
Bineta Diop’s appreciation of the First Lady of the DRC demonstrates the importance of women’s engagement in society. Bineta Diop also pleads for greater participation of women at the negotiating table, in order to ensure lasting peace. She therefore encourages Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi to take initiatives in this direction.
The visit of the African Union delegation to Goma as part of its mission in favor of women underlines the importance given to this issue. It is essential to continue to support the actions of African First Ladies and to give them the means to act in favor of social progress.
In conclusion, the actions of the First Lady of the DRC, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, in favor of women’s health and rights were warmly welcomed by Bineta Diop. Her commitment in these areas demonstrates the essential role of women in society and the importance of supporting them in their initiatives. It is essential to promote greater representation of women in decision-making and to give them the opportunity to actively contribute to social progress.
