Ministry of Gender, Family and Children

The Ministry of Gender, Family and Children (French: Ministère du genre, famille et enfant) is a government ministry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

An Executive Secretariat responsible for gender was established by Presidential Order on 8 February 1980.

As the General Secretariat for the Status of Women, this evolved into a branch of the state party, the Popular Movement of the Revolution (MPR).

In 1987 it was detached from the government, as the MPR Executive Secretariat with responsibility for gender.
