    Rwanda Women: Beyond the Power of Position

    Rwandan women have been empowered on all fronts

    Rwandan women have been empowered on all fronts

    Rwanda women have demystified the long held patriarchal view that women ‘cannot do it’ as their male counterparts. Rwanda leadership recognition of the necessity, value and treasure of women empowerment, liberated of patriarchal bondage.

    Rwanda women in public civil service and autonomous institutions have contributed to all great things Rwanda is proud to proclaim today.

    Rwanda is a global model of women empowerment and the indicator that what women need the leadership that touches their shoulders and says “Yes-you can do it and you can win” Liberating women from the misery of lack of ownership of their challenges, desires and lives is a failure and shame to the modern civilisation.

    Rwanda women have the confidence, discipline, self-esteem, motivation and a respectful stake in determining their dignity, destiny and prosperity of their country.

    However, women empowerment is an uphill task and it needs clarity of leadership to enhance their confidence, skills, resilience, to overcome cultural and traditional limitations.

    Rwanda women are reckoning, stabilising and friendly force that have touched and changed the lives of their communities.

    The treasure of women leadership is being swift to recognise pertinent issues which affect households which used to be ignored and unnoticed yet, these so called “small issues” are the true measures of development.

    Rwanda women are on the frontline of fighting poor values, child abuse, disrespect to elders and inattention to weaker sections of the community and gender based violence.

    Rwanda women leaders’ motherly approaches shake both our hearts, hands and have demonstrated that beyond the powers of position lies the price of leadership, selflessness, peace-making, community service and responsibility.

    Proudly, Rwanda women leaders have not failed their communities in their services, a testimony to mentor the young generation to carry on the vision of hope and resilience.
