The Role of Women in Policing
Gender equality is an ideological principal in Rwanda enshrined in the constitution, which highlights principal guidelines on which sectoral policies and programmes base to integrate gender issues in their respective social, cultural, economic and political planning and programming.
It is a policy that has equally come to define the policing environment and the security setting in general in Rwanda.
President Paul Kagame, in his address to the 63rd UN General Assembly, said: “With regards to empowering women and promoting their socio economic and political participation, we continue to make modest progress. We believe that, besides improving gender relations in our country, this marks healthy progress towards realizing our vision of a united, democratic and prosperous Rwanda.”
For just 19 years of Rwanda National Police (RNP) existence, the force continues to walk this talk. Read more
