Ministry engages universities in gender equity dialogues

The New Times 25 March 2023

The Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion is engaging in gender equality dialogues in higher learning institutions to discuss women's empowerment, gender-based violence prevention and response, and gender equality promotion, writes Gina Ingabire for The New Times.

Rwanda has developed a national Men Engage in Gender Transformative Strategy, which aims to engage men and boys in achieving gender equality.

During a lecture at Mount Kenya University, Silas Ngayaboshya, the director-general of gender equality and women's empowerment, emphasised that gender is not just a women’s issue, but men and boys should also play a role in achieving gender equality. He said: “Men and boys should act as aligned policy partners if we want gender equality promotion to be sustainable.”
