On March 8, a symbolic day in the fight for women's rights around the world, female staff at the University of Kinshasa wrote a memorable page by organizing a peaceful march in support of their sisters and brothers in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a region torn apart by the atrocities of war for too long.
Under a radiant sun, a vibrant procession of solidarity and hope formed in the courtyard of this Alma Mater. Teachers, researchers, and administrators, all united in a shared desire for peace and justice, held banners calling for an end to violence and the protection of women's fundamental rights in conflict zones.
The event's coordinator, Professor Gisèle THOA, emphasized the importance of education and solidarity in building a better future for all Congolese women. She encouraged continued mobilization for peace, justice, and gender equality.

This historic march resonated far beyond the walls of the University. It reminded everyone that women's voices are powerful and united, and that by uniting, they can break the chains of oppression and violence.
On this memorable day, the female staff of the University of Kinshasa showed the world that solidarity and determination are the pillars on which a future of peace and respect for fundamental rights for all is built.
