Women from five communities and six mine sites in Democratic Republic of Congo came together to establish a new women’s rights association, the Network for the Empowerment of Women in Mining Communities (REAFECOM). It is the first association of women artisanal miners in DRC’s northeastern Ituri Province. The group aims to improve living conditions for women, promote their right to and increase access to social services, and build solidarity.
