Women's rights and better female representation in politics have taken center stage in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) ahead of the upcoming presidential election. President Félix Tshisekedi has implemented policies such as free maternity care, which has had a positive impact on women's access to healthcare. However, there is still progress to be made in improving women's rights and addressing cultural obstacles to their emancipation. The election results will also determine the progress of women's representation in Congolese public life.
