Quotes[edit]

  • WHAT WE SOW IN OUR CHILDREN AS A FAMILY IS WHAT WE REAP AS A NATION
  • If anything, this pandemic has demonstrated that complacence is never a good thing. As Rwanda Parliament, and the country as whole, which we have witnessed in the past 27 years since the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, the world community has to be ready to change and adapt.
  • The prevailing situation of women across the continent includes economic exclusion, low level of representation in decision-making organs; sexual and gender based violence, poor access to justice, school dropouts, cultural norms, among others.
  • The engagement of men and boys for gender equality and women’s rights promotion is really fundamental and needed. We need men to challenge gender stereotypes, to share equitably in family and household responsibilities, to be positive role models in their communities and their families.
  • responsible and positive parenting is key to stable families and nations; “we cannot talk about sustainable development of our country when we still have unstable families, whereby children rights are not observed and protected.
