As part of women's month, a one day workshop on the promotion of the new sexual violence law in the DRC was held on 31 Monday March 2008 in Kinshasa, under the aegis of the International NGO Network for Development (RIOD). The workshop was organised by RIOD and other female NGO networks to make women aware of their rights, so that they can fight the impunity of those who commit acts of sexual violence.

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991. Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights.
