Content_paragraphs:  MONUSCO continued to advance the implementation of the women and peace
  
  and security agenda through targeted engagement with national, provincial and local
  
  authorities, as well as by advocating increased space for the representation and
  
  participation of women, including in decision-making processes related to
  
  COVID-19. In Kinshasa, the Mission conducted awareness-raising activities related
  
  to the socioeconomic impact of the pandemic on women for about 280 participants
  
  and organized discussions on gender perspectives in the pandemic-related response
  
  of the FARDC and Congolese National Police, involving some 800 participants.
  
  MONUSCO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Gender, Family and Children, also
  
  organized a working session to validate a strategic document on priority actions for a
  
  better integration of the women and peace and security agenda into initiatives aimed
  
  at responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
