This year is the 10th anniversary of the political party Dr. Gisele Ndaya Luseba, former Minister of Gender, Family, and Children, founded. It is less of a political party and more of a vision of how she wants women in the DRC to develop. She has announced a zero-tolerance policy against gender-based violence and sexual violence in her country. The DRC is already seeing the fruits from those efforts. People are already starting to be scared of committing or watching domestic violence and violence against children.

Dr. Gisele Ndaya Luseba, former Minister of Gender, Family, and Children, established a center for women who have experienced domestic and sexual violence where they can receive help. Because the women who have been raped or experienced sexual violence are very traumatized, they don’t respond when they see a man. They scream and run and try to hide.

Variables: MARR-PRACTICE-4
In the DRC, there is a phenomenon of people cohabitating without legal marriage. Without legal marriage, it is usually the man’s family who gets the inheritance, leaving his widow with nothing. Currently, corrupt officials often ask for more than is required for marriage, whether that is drink, food, or something else. The hoops that couples must jump through to get married incentivizes cohabitation.

Dowry often prevents marriage. Dr. Gisele Ndaya Luseba, former Minister of Gender, Family, and Culture, says that the solution is that the country shouldn’t sell women. The dowry is supposed to be symbolic. Thus, they are trying to pass a law that caps the dowry so it doesn’t completely drown people in debt that they can’t afford.

In the conflict in the DRC, people rape women in front of their children. Dr. Gisele Ndaya Luseba, former Minister of Gender, Family, and Children, established a center for women who have experienced domestic and sexual violence where they can receive help.

Dr. Gisele Ndaya Luseba says that she is trying to promote autonomy and self-reliance for women. They can’t just be beggars waiting to receive something from a man. They must have the ability to have a job, contribute to housework, and contribute to their country. They need to have training to do that. She worked with a group of women to create a bank for women in the DRC in several provinces. She was the first to pay the fee for 200 women to have a deposit account. This non-profit bank allows women to get credit interest-free.

In 2023, a law was passed that one out of every three people on a ballot must be a woman. Unfortunately, women don’t have the means to put themselves ahead of their political rivals, so they are often not elected. Dr. Gisele Ndaya Luseba, former Minister of Gender, Children, and Family is trying to improve that. Overall, the highest leaders in the country want to protect women, but the mid-level leaders of business, enterprise, and other endeavors look to their own self-interest and aren’t on-board with women’s equality.
