A diverse cohort of women leaders is formed to lead in governance at local and national level
As a result of UN Women’s advocacy, awareness campaigns, skills enhancement, a diverse cohort of young women are better equipped, informed and encouraged to exercise leadership roles. Additionally, women's leadership and participation in decision making organs is promoted through the convening power of networks such as the Rwanda Women Leaders Network (RWLN) Summit held under the theme "Building the Next Generation of Women Leaders" was convened by the Ministry of Gender and Family promotion in collaboration with UN Women. The summit brought together 250 diverse cohort of women leaders from various sectors and backgrounds including high level government officials, representatives of institutions, women leaders from across generations, students, private sector and civil society. The summit strengthened women and girls’ connection, mutual support among women leaders and reinforced their influence at different levels. As such, the summit enhanced women’s vertical and horizontal peer learning and promoted mentoring of the next generation of women leaders. This also provided an opportunity to discuss ways in which they can fully exploit their potential, how to nurture young women and girls’ leadership and how to give back to the community by those already in leadership positions through mentorship, coaching etc. Link:
First Lady launches African Women Leaders Network Rwanda Chapter - The New Times
Negative gender stereotypes and harmful social norms continue to be the major underlying causes that create inequalities and hold back women in Rwanda from achieving their potential despite the strong policy, legal and institutional environment. This has resulted in and exacerbated vulnerabilities of girls and young women especially those living with HIV and hindering their empowerment, perpetuating HIV-related stigma and leading to limited access to quality and differentiated health services. HIV related stigma also hamper girls, young women, and teen mothers’ capacities to speak out about gender-based violence and reluctant to seek justice. In an effort to tackle negative social norms that hinder women's participation in leadership positions, UN Women in partnership with Rwanda Network of People Living with HIV(RRP+) continued to support adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in leadership, advocacy, and social media management to claim their rights to access quality and reliable health services. 30 adolescent girls and young women whose capacities and skills in leadership, public speaking, advocacy, and social media management were strengthened, received coaching to further enhance their skills. The girls and young women continued to develop and produce content using various platforms on issues such as gender inequalities in HIV prevention and response thereby reshaping perceptions to eliminate discrimination and stigma towards people living with HIV.
