In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Senate, through its Human Rights and Gender Equality Committees, played a pivotal role in shaping the draft law that led to the establishment of the National Reparations Fund for Victims of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence and Crimes Against Peace and Humanity (FONAREV).

This landmark legislation, adopted on December 26, 2022, defines the fundamental principles concerning the protection and reparations for victims of sexual violence related to conflicts and crimes against peace and humanity in the DRC, dating back to 1993, reflecting the Senate's critical contribution to advancing justice and reparations for victims.
