CURRENT: In Conversation with Rwanda Women's Network

On January 23, 2026, Niyonshuti Jean Claude, Ambassador of Rwanda at the International Youth Council on Gender Equality (IYCGE), met with board representatives from Rwanda Women's Network (RWN) for a high-level dialogue focused on women’s rights advocacy, youth leadership, and community-based strategies advancing gender equality in Rwanda.

The conversation explored gender-based violence prevention, women’s economic empowerment, youth leadership, and the power of intergenerational collaboration in sustaining long-term change. RWN shared how trust, local engagement, and survivor-centered approaches are key to building safer and more equitable communities. These discussions remind us that gender equality is strongest when rooted in community voices and lived experiences.
