Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment in Rwanda

Jul 15

Rwanda is recognized as a leader in gender equality and women’s empowerment. Women hold positions making up 61 percent of the Rwandan Parliament, and 50 percent of the President’s cabinet.

While these efforts are so important, challenges still remain, specifically when it comes to achieving socio-economic equality and cultural change at the community level. To address these challenges and close gaps, USAID/Rwanda integrates gender equality and social inclusion into its strategies, programs, and activities. In FY 2022, USAID/Rwanda had a total of 15 activities that addressed gender equality and female empowerment.

I founded Urban Web Renovations after 11 years of leading global marketing strategies for nonprofit organizations in Washington, DC. In each position I held, one thing remained the same – my passion for managing web sites and social media accounts for both organizations and major thought leaders.
