While finalising its departure from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the UN Mission in the country, MONUSCO, remains fully engaged in assisting the country on its path to peace and stability.

It’s essential to ensure “women’s voices are heard in the political processes that are taking place,” says Special Representative Bintou Keita, Head of MONUSCO, who was in New York for High-Level Week at the end of last month.

In an interview with UN News’s Jérôme Bernard she speaks about the ongoing security challenges posed by multiple armed groups in the east and what the impact on women is likely to be as MONUSCO continues its mandated withdrawal.
