Rwanda Article

Amazingly women in the tiny African country of Rwanda have finally stepped up and taken power. Women now run the show. They have seats in congress and they can have just about any job they want to. Rwanda has banished archaic patriarchal laws that are enforced in just about the rest of Africa. In recent years the ratio of women to men, making women the dominant sex in this small country. In 1994, genocide occurred where 800,000 people were killed and over killed and raped. Then the population of Rwanda then become 70% women. Then a new constitution was introduced in 2003 where 30% of all parliament and cabinet seats had to be women. And then right next to Rwanda a sexual violence ravaged Congo. Where there is no law and there is no order. And then even some women legislatures and cabinet seats were raped, threatened and one was murdered. And out of 222 lawyers or lawmakers only a few are women.
