RWANDA - LEARNING FROM THE RISE OF RWANDA'S WOMEN

 

20 Years After the Genocide

Nearly one million Rwandans lost their lives during the 100 days of terror and atrocities that began in April 1994. A nation in mourning had to determine how to rebuild. Leading the way? Rwandan women, who stepped into roles previously closed to them and healed the country.

During this time of observances marking the 20th anniversary of the genocide, The Institute for Inclusive Security is highlighting the contributions of Rwanda’s women. It is evident that the rise of Rwanda's women holds lessons for how to build sustainable peace. Women are still leading change in Rwanda, as they are in Afghanistan, Syria, and countries around the globe.
