Congolese Women's Education and Religious Leadership

 
You will not find too many women taking part in worship services in the Congo.  It is not a case of male-domination or for religious reasons.  It is the result of the high illiteracy among women and girls.  As the literacy increases, the number of women participating in church increases, too.

Learning to read and to write will help women to become fully integrated in their churches and in society.  Bibles are only produced in major trade languages and international languages.  Therefore, girls and women must attend secondary schools.

Only a hand full of women attend seminaries in the protestant religion.
