Abstract :
Rwandan women have given new status as a world leader in gender equality, having achieved a 56% majority in Parliament chamber of deputies according to the 2011 report GMO. Rwanda women have reached this level of political empowerment for many reasons, including the current government’s policy will of promoting gender equality in the public sphere and also new Constitution (2003) that stipulated that women should constitute 30% in all leadership positions in the country. Highlighting women’s roles in the political leadership in Rwanda, is part of encouraging Rwanda government to continue in that way because it is good politics of social inclusion where everyone is looked as part of country development without any form of discrimination. Women parliamentarians are not only encouraged by Rwanda leadership in the way of promoting laws that protect women against gender-based violence, but also in non-governmental organizations for the purpose of rebuilding and unifying the country destroyed by the 1994 genocide against Tutsi. Women’s participation in national govern- ment has created self confidence among Rwanda women as well as translated into empowerment in different field of social life.
