    The MP revealed that statistics show that 80% Rwandans agreed that unity and reconciliation has been attained whereas the remaining 20% refuted that there is still dis unity among Rwandans Rwandans’ perception of unity and reconciliation.

    Through a brain storming sessions during the seminar, the participants suggested that having regular meetings can be extremely resourceful to women’s involvement in peace building.

    Christine Nyirahabimana is the chairperson of “akagoroba k’abagore” in Cyanika Sector. She says through the program, they have mobilized a large number of women with whom they meet almost weekly to discuss the challenges of unity and reconciliation vis-à-vis on how to strengthen unity.
