THOUSANDS of women from UNI affiliates in the Democratic Republic of Congo held a rally in Kinshasa at which they denounced the low wages paid to workers and demanded for equal pay.

The rally coincided with this year’s International Women’s Day on March 8, whose theme was “Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities, Progress for All.”

Guy Mpelembe reports that the rally attracted women from all sectors of society who marched along Boulevard Triomphal to mark the International Women’s Day.

The rally was led by Maguy Tshala the President of the UNI Women’s Committee in Congo DR and Treasurer Nzomini Masebe.

The women’s demands for a decent pay were made in front of political authorities and soldiers.
