What a powerful day it has been! Rwanda Women’s Network, alongside Tinyuka Network member organizations, Transparency International Rwanda @TI_Rwanda, and government institutions, convened a National Roundtable that brought voices and decision-makers together. Young women from @MountKigaliUni and @unilak_rwanda sat side by side with national policymakers to confront sex-based corruption in higher education. @rwamrec @glfrwanda @HEC_Rwanda @CentreMarembo @Rwanda_Edu @RwandaLocalGov @ProfemmesTH @livingdemocracy @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @oso_oursisters @certafoundation @impanuro @SFIRWANDA @HopeFoundation @RUBRwanda @RwandaUnabu @haguruka_ngo @GBVnet @UNTrustFundEVAW @trocaire @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda

A valuable courtesy visit by our Director to the french ambassador provided an opportunity to reflect on women’s contribution to Rwanda’s reconstruction. We also shared the work of Rwanda Women’s Network and how Women Safe Spaces support women’s empowerment while promoting stronger families and communities. @ProfemmesTH @RwandaLocalGov @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @balikungerii @AurelieRG @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda @medicamondiale

Rwanda Women’s Network, in partnership with @medicamondiale brought together feminist practitioner organizations in a participatory action research process to strengthen feminist programming and movement building, as well as to reflect on our practice and co-create solutions that improve SGBV prevention and response across Rwanda @RwandaLocalGov @ProfemmesTH @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @oso_oursisters @certafoundation @impanuro @SFIRWANDA @HopeFoundation @RUBRwanda @RwandaUnabu @haguruka_ngo @GBVnet @UNTrustFundEVAW @trocaire @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda

Today, Rwanda Women’s Network operates 24 women’s safe spaces across Rwanda providing psychosocial support, clear referral pathways, counseling, legal support, leadership training, and community dialogue opportunities. Because we believe healing leads to empowerment, empowerment leads to transformation, and transformation builds sustainable change. @ambafrancerwa @livingdemocracy @AFD_France @RwandaLocalGov @RwandaYouthArts @unwomenrwanda @UNTrustFundEVAW @ProfemmesTH @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @KvinnaKvinnaINT @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda @medicamondiale

Today, we honour Heroism and Unity, the foundation of Rwanda's development @RwandaLocalGov @balikungerii #HappyHeroesDay

Today, as she bid farewell to the UN Women Rwanda Civil Society Advisory Group, outgoing Rep.@JennetKem thanked them for their longstanding & valued partnership, & together with OIC @Tikikel, presented UN Women’s refocused priorities under its new Strategic Note 2026–2029.

Through Voix du Changement Project, Rwanda Women’s Network brought together young girls from @MountKigaliUni and @unilak_rwanda with Tinyuka Network member organizations to strengthen collaboration for collective advocacy. This space gave girls room to speak openly about their challenges, deepen shared understanding, and collectively shape advocacy priorities. Together, they examined key issues affecting girls in higher education and co-created policy messages rooted in both evidence and lived experience. @ambafrancerwa @livingdemocracy @AFD_France @RwandaLocalGov @RwandaYouthArts @unwomenrwanda @UNTrustFundEVAW @ProfemmesTH @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @KvinnaKvinnaINT @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda @medicamondiale

The “Femmes en Action” project is now live! We met with local authorities in @KayonzaDistrict on 26 January and @BugeseraDistr on 27 January, to officially launch this transformative initiative in partnership with North-South Cooperation @uclgaspac and in collaboration with local authorities for strengthening district stakeholder's collaboration. The project aims to empower women, reinforce community-based support systems, enhance women’s economic resilience, and combat gender-based violence (GBV). @RwandaLocalGov @MFA_Lu @UNTrustFundEVAW @GBVnet @unwomenrwanda @ProfemmesTH @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda @medicamondiale

At Rwanda Women’s Network, we accompany young girls on a journey of growth—building skills, strengthening voices, and opening doors to new possibilities. Every confident girl begins in a space where she feels heard, supported, and encouraged to think boldly. @RwandaLocalGov @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @livingdemocracy @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda @medicamondiale
