Content_paragraphs:  MONUSCO continued to advance the implementation of tasks under the women 
  
  and peace and security agenda through targeted engagement with national, provincial 
  
  and local authorities, advocating for increased space for the representation and 
  
  participation of women, including in decision-making processes related to 
  
  COVID-19. The Mission also enhanced efforts to support community-based conflict 
  
  prevention and reconciliation structures led by women, which contributed to ensuring 
  
  a gender-inclusive response to protection challenges, including new risk patterns in 
  
  the context of COVID-19. Over 80 women benefited from these initiatives.
