This topic highlights the importance of Budia women, originally from the Lomami region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the socio-economic, cultural and political development of their society. Historically, they have played an essential role in areas such as agriculture, trade and handicrafts, while ensuring the transmission of traditional knowledge. Their influence also extends to preserving social cohesion through child-rearing, inter-community relations and active participation in cultural and religious ceremonies. In the political sphere, Budia women stand out for their engagement crescent. Despite cultural and structural barriers, they militate for equitable representation in decision-making bodies, participate in citizen movements and contribute to local governance by bringing perspectives focused on collective well-being and social inclusion. In the face of social and economic challenges, they stand out as agents of change, mobilizing their skills to promote gender equality, access to education and sustainable development.
