The Rwanda-Sweden International Womens Day event tagged 'RWANDA & SWEDEN GENDER EQUALITY JOURNEY', to mark the significant milestone achieved by the two countries when it comes to gender equality and the progress made so far in integrating gender equality policies across their government framework. This collaboration with a strong commitment to promoting gender inclusivity, is aimed at highlighting how policy initiatives can effectively translate into tangible societal change. Through a series of discussions and presentations, the event will illuminate the Rwandan government's strategic approach to ensuring women play pivotal roles in its governance structures and decision-making processes.

Rwanda's journey toward gender parity is notable for its legislative reforms and policy measures that have been instrumental in increasing female representation in parliament and other leadership positions. These efforts have been spotlighted a number of times, and has claimed global attention, and this event will once more provide valuable insights into the mechanisms behind Rwanda's success story. Furthermore, it will underscore Sweden's role as a key partner in supporting these initiatives through collaborative projects aimed at enhancing women's economic empowerment and political participation.

This gathering will not only celebrate achievements but also serve as a platform for exchanging best practices between nations committed to advancing gender equality. The Rwanda-Sweden collaboration thus stands as a testament to what can be achieved when countries unite in their efforts to dismantle barriers to women's full participation in governance and society.

Organised by the Rwandan women In Sweden Organisation, under the leadership of Mrs. Francine Mukashema, the event comes up on the 16th of march at the Piazza Blue, Hallonbergsplan. The who's who in the Rwandan and Swedish communities are expected to grace the ocassion which starts at 15:00 pm. It will also be an opportunity to have a taste of the Rwandan traditional dishes.
