Policy brief - Eliminating discrimination against women in the DRC: the CEDAW Committee should issue strong recommendations on the impact of mining on women’s rights and their political and public participation

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)’s 8^th report on the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) will be under review by the CEDAW Committee on 9 July 2019. This policy brief is not exhaustive and rather underlines the main priority recommendations related to the impact of mining on women’s rights as well as women political and public participation, which the European Network for Central Africa (EurAc) calls on the Committee to issue during the upcoming review of the DRC.
