Background on Rwanda
”We cannot claim to be on a sustainable path to transform Rwanda if we exclude women, who are more than half of the population.” – HE President Paul Kagame, 2003.
Paving the way for Empowered Women: Rwanda today after genocide is a model for resilience and empowerment, especially for women. Despite the genocide in 1994 that claimed almost one-third of the population, the Rwandan culture has seen exceptional strides in empowering women and sustaining environments.
Historically, Rwandan society marginalized women. But since the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis, Rwandan leadership has helped to amplify gender equality and narrow the gender gap to the highest level of admiration, and become globally revered as the most pro-woman country in the world. Participants on this trip will learn firsthand about the history and evolution of women in Rwanda and how it supports women through community, socio-economic development, and supportive NGOs.
