The issue of women's care in general and the report of good collaboration between the Ministry of Gender and UN Women also constituted the framework of these exchanges.

"I just came to meet Madame the Minister to present my respects, because we are at the beginning of the year, to present my best wishes and especially to appreciate all the collaboration that we had during the year 2023 and to hope that in 2024 we will have the same collaborative relationships. Another element is that we are in the month of women, the month of March which will start soon, it was extremely important to come again to affirm our solidarity with the women of the DRC, whether it be political women, women affected by conflict situations, or women affected by the humanitarian situation, it was important that we came and said in person to the Minister that we stand in solidarity and are truly committed behind the national authorities to bring all our support.

It was also important, because we have seen the launch of the month of women which was carried out by her Excellency, especially the sobriety with which she wants this time to be less festive and really in solidarity through the wearing of black clothes, for us this is really important and for us, this is really important," said Adama Moussa, the UN Women's Resident Representative in the DRC.

Furthermore, Adama Moussa has sent a message of solidarity to all women, especially since right now the women in the East of the DRC are victims of many criminal acts, imposed on them by the M23 terrorists.
