Changing social norms and values to end widespread violence against women and girls in DRC

When taking up my duties as World Bank Country Director in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) a few months ago, data on the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) were among those that struck me the most. DRC ranks 151st out of 179 in the 2021 Gender Inequality Index (GII), a composite metric of gender inequality using reproductive health, empowerment, and the labour market as main dimensions, with only 14.3% of women occupying parliamentary seats. One in two women report having experienced physical or sexual violence at least once in their lifetime (2014 DHS), while 3 in 4 women and nearly 3 in 5 men believe that wife beating is justified for at least one specified reason. More worryingly, acceptability of intimate partners violence (IPV) is more prevalent in younger age groups for both men and women.
