En RDC, à la frontière avec la Zambie, environ 700 femmes de Kasumbalesa assurent le transport manuel des marchandises des petits commerçants. On les appelle les femmes « wowo ». Si leur travail est vital pour l'économie locale, il se fait dans la précarité et sous la menace permanente de violences. De notre correspondante de retour de Kasumbalesa, Dès le matin, les femmes « wowo », chargées de sacs de farine, de packs de biscuits, de lots de boissons sucrées pesant parfois de plus de 30 kilos, sont dans le couloir piétonnier de Kasumbalesa et dans la zone neutre. Un sac sur sa tête, Anto vient de braver les différentes barrières du couloir : « Il y a trois barrières. À la sortie de la Zambie, je paye 500 francs congolais. Au couloir, je donne 1 000 francs congolais et un peu plus loin, je débourse encore 1 000 francs congolais. Une fois en dehors du couloir, d'autres agents des services publics nous attendent. Des fois, je négocie avec eux et ils me laissent passer. » Des attouchements et des humiliations Au-delà de ces tracasseries, certaines femmes subissent des violences verbales de la part des agents publics. Jacquie, jeune femme veuve, rencontrée à la sortie du couloir piétonnier, témoigne : « On m'insulte souvent. Ces agents me disent. Pourquoi es-tu ici ? Où est ton mari ? Est-il incapable de te nourrir ? Bon, je n'en ai rien à faire, on supporte parce qu'ils ne connaissent pas ma situation. » D'autres subissent même des agressions sexuelles, déclare Régine Mbuyi, une autre femme « wowo » : « Lorsqu'un agent m'interpelle parfois, il me demande des faveurs sexuelles pour laisser passer la marchandise. Il arrive également que pendant la fouille, ces agents se permettent des attouchements jusque sur les parties intimes. C'est humiliant… » Les femmes « wowo » de Kasumbalesa n'ont aucune protection sociale ni de recours légal. L'Association des femmes actives dans le commerce transfrontalier (AFACT) dénonce une situation alarmante. Solange Masengo est la présidente : « Dans la zone de la Comesa, le Marché commun de l'Afrique orientale et australe, nous voyons les femmes assurer le transport transfrontalier sans problème. Mais ici, chez nous, ces femmes discriminées, elles sont chassées. Il y a des filles qui ont été humiliées et déshabillées, et nous avons des preuves. On a aussi des femmes qui ont été fouettées publiquement. Lorsque l'association veut intervenir, on nous demande de laisser la situation comme ça. Pourquoi la femme ne peut pas faire un travail de son choix ? » Pour l'heure, nous n'avons pas réussi à avoir la réaction du maire de Kasumbalesa et même du sous-directeur de la douane. Les femmes « wowo » quant à elles, continuent de porter le commerce frontalier sur leurs épaules malgré la fatigue et les humiliations.

À Kasumbalesa, à la frontière entre la Zambie et la RDC, se vit un trafic parallèle, loin des grands camions et des formalités douanières. Chaque jour, plusieurs centaines de femmes congolaises transportent sur leur tête, ou leur dos, des marchandises pour traverser la frontière Zambienne. On appelle ces femmes « wowo », en référence aux camions chinois de la même marque. Notre correspondante a suivi quelques-unes de ces femmes. De notre correspondante de retour de Kasumbalesa, À Kasumbalesa, deuxième poste frontalier plus important de la RDC, elles sont là, à quelques mètres des files interminables de camions : des femmes portant de lourdes charges sur la tête et le dos, qui franchissent le couloir piétonnier. Ce sont les femmes « wowo » raconte avec sourire Alphonsine, l'une d'elles : « Je suis en mesure de faire passer la charge de tout un camion. Nous sommes les mamans "wowo", c'est l'image des camions qui transportent des charges importantes. Nous travaillons en équipe. S'il faut décharger le camion, nous le faisons et puis nous transportons la cargaison jusqu'à la destination au Congo, selon les instructions du propriétaire. » Selon l'association des femmes actives dans le commerce transfrontalier, elles sont près de sept cents, tous âges confondus, qui exercent ce métier. Les petits commerçants, eux, ne s'affichent pas dès qu'ils confient la marchandise aux femmes « wowo ». Témoignage de Régine Mbuyi, une autre transporteuse : « Le petit commerçant vient acheter toute sorte d'articles, du jus, de la farine de froment, de l'huile végétale… Il me sollicite pour faire traverser ces produits. S'il est de bonne foi, il me donne aussi l'argent pour payer la douane et d'autres services publics. Mais s'il n'a rien, je dois me débrouiller. » À la sortie de la frontière côté congolais, quatre femmes arrivent chacune avec cinq packs de boisson sucrée d'environ 30 kg sur sa tête. Coût de transport, 1 500 francs congolais par course, soit moins d'un dollar. La recette journalière de chacune est de près de 5 dollars. Ces femmes doivent transporter environ une tonne. Pour y arriver, c'est la course contre-la-montre, explique Keren pendant qu'elle range les packs : « Chacune de nous a une quantité qu'elle doit transporter. Moi, j'ai 25 packs. Le commerçant a acheté 100, ce n'est pas beaucoup. Bon, on y va pour la dernière course. » Les services de douanes, quant à eux, ne voient pas d'un bon œil cette activité des femmes, car elle favoriserait un manque à gagner quotidien de près de 3 000 dollars. Pour Malaxe Luhanga, président des petits transporteurs transfrontaliers, il faut formaliser cette activité : « On peut appliquer le système de groupage selon la catégorie des marchandises et qu'elles soient taxées officiellement. On peut adopter ce système qui est admis par les pays membres du Comesa pour faciliter les transactions et la taxation par les services publics. » En attendant, des centaines des femmes « wowo » de Kasumbalesa poursuivent leur activité de manière informelle.
