- Rwanda has been dubbed the best place for women in politics, with women representing over 60% of parliamentarians. But how did this small country become a trailblazer for gender equality in Africa - and even the world? Edith Kimani meets with young people in Kigali to find out more about the advances and challenges in Rwanda's gender equality journey.

Congrats.Rwanda!
More like a model of the NWO
They are changing rabidly
@@plizwekup5231if old world order isn't working then NWO is a must !
i thought they were lying, rwanda is indeed so clean. i really love that the country is moving forward together
As a Rwandan🤷🏿♂️ religion has huge effect on women’s equality
a lot of efforts are made but many Rwandans are still patriarchal and there is still a long way to go - am speaking as an expat living in Rwanda since 1997 and married to a Rwandan since over 20 years, but again lots of efforts are being made I see it everyday
I was thinking the same and think that the traditions will be one of the biggest challenges to reaching more equality.
religion @@nairadevi2182
"...Rwandans are still patriarchal and there is still a long way to go..." you could say this for any other country in the world, especially the western countries. I think you missed the part where the moderator said that Rwanda is the only country where women account for over half of the government compared to the rest of the world, where women in politics account for only 20%.
So lovely to see those young women in kigali so articulate, passionate and intelligent. That's how you build a strong country.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 absurdity at its best.
Our Rwandan sisters ; brothers here are wisely well shaped in their mindset well explained. Our proud.
Wow. That was the best debate I ever heard in such an amazing freedom. Rwandese are on another level of women empowerment ❤
Africans, please be careful about feminism being pushed in the name of "women empowerment" and "gender equality". Look at how they used this same strategy on African Americans and ended up destroying families
We are glad to see you watching!
I loved watching this, kudos to y'all
Impressive debate! Rwanda is doing wonders in Africa!
So why are UK liberal politicians so against the UK conservative government sending all refugees and economic migrants to Rwanda ?
@@tudormiller887interesting…
@@tudormiller887simple logic! Circuit overload and inability to accommodate refugees. Especially if traditions, beliefs and customs aren't aligned with the host country of a developing nation.
Rwanda is the best country in Africa, I’m moving there shortly as an investor. There’s no such thing as gender equality, it’s equal opportunity that we need. Opportunities in all fields should be promoted, but results are based on individual performances. Women are very powerful if given the chance. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I respect the current Rwandese leadership and I’m not sure about the ones who will come after this bcoz with the mentality of some of our African people is barbaric.
@@mzee5533 I believe the leadership culture has been laid out. It would be primitive for Rwanda to lose this progress. Botswana is another good example, rest of sub Saharan Africa are just failed states. Impressive how a country of 12 million, GDP of $15 billion can be run so effectively. This is what happens when transparency & accountability is promoted. Rwanda is the only country in Africa where public servants have a performance index. Kagame needs to teach this culture to all the failed leaders.
Really? There is a dark side to Rwanda. The poverty rate in Rwanda is still very high, and remains one of the poorest countries in the world today as we speak,
Look me up, I’d love to show where to find those opportunities regarding what type of investment you’re interested in making
@@stephfrancis7109Everytime there are haters,
Beautiful people. Enduring Spirit and Power of Youth. Proud of you.
This is a wonderful debate and im really pleased with different inputs. The moderation was also top quality. Asante sana. It would be interesting to see a similar debate in a couple of years and see how this debate would have evolved.
we are glad to see you watching and appreciate your comment and suggestion
That's an amazing debate 👌
Thank you for sharing this, iam proud of our better halves. Gender equality is a process not an event, we have made remarkable progress.
This is an educative interview. I'm glad to see women this educated and very out spoken. I strongly stand for equal opportunities for both genders. Some women still don't understand this equality because it affects so many marital homes. I don't believe in gender equality, I stand for equal opportunities. Well done girls
Well said, men and are equal because we are different, we need equal opportunities and rights and respect for each other.
Such well spoken young women!
I enjoyed this debate ❤ good job you guys 👏🏼
Beautiful work Edith you're doing an amazing job and beautiful conservation
I am so touched with the english confidence and the pronounciation of Rwandans
Unceasing peace and enhanced wellness unto us all and each of our loved ones .
I am so proud of the levels of critical thinking and eloquence I observed around our beloved sisters .
Everyone has to do something to help Rwanda sustain the already recorded progress as the MP emphasized .
Gender equality endeavours should integrate more men and build a collegial army to help continue to move Rwanda 🇷🇼 forward .
Thank you so much for providing such a great platform to those inspiring interviewees @Miss Kimani 😊
🇷🇼🇨🇦🇨🇦🇷🇼
I subscribed to your channel to say “Asante Sana “to you 😎😋😎😋
You mean equal rights and opportunities because men and women are not the same hence not equal, but both deserve the same rights and opportunities and respect for each other.
Gender equality, is not a favor, its a right❤ great conversation👍🔥
remember that when thugs break into yo house, tell yo husband to step back and you handle it. or when you get a flat tyre, call women to fix it, balance out yo life 50/50 in everything.
@@jonkite0071 fair enough
It's not even a right in Africa but in the western world...... Equality means doing or having same opportunities but the question is are men considered equal by females in terms of work, opportunities
@@michealmuyangana826well, they are not equal in some fields, men sports bring more money than female sports hence they can't be paid the same, beauty industries and Modeling are dominated by women hence men are not paid as women etc..., Etc...
You mean same rights and opportunities because men are not equal to women & women are not equal men.
Good discussion as always
Thank you for posting this video! I was not aware of the social and economic developments for women in Rwanda since the genocide. Watching and listening to the women in politics debating on the streets in the capital of Rwanda about the changes that have been made is inspiring. There is always more to be improved concerning the respect of women. I am happy the Rwandan women are seeking those improvements.
We absolutely love that you are watching. We are committed to producing even more quality content as this. Check out our other several episodes as well!
Where In life is equality
"equality" is A HOODWINK LIE that is perpetrated by THE IMPERIALISTS! they themselves dont practice that supposed "equality" otherwise there would NOT be all that INEQUALITY in EU/USA/US everywhere! In CHINA and JAPAN and basically all ORIENTAL COUNTRIES the MEN reign SUPREME and NOBODY is pushing this NEGATIVE supposedf"GENDER" "equality"! WHY doesnt the WEST and EU go to ASIA-CHINA first and JAPAN and tell them about this "gender equality" NONESENSE they PUSH on this continent!?
It's amazing how much Kenyan people look Rwandan. With the Kikuyus even our languages are very similar.
We're brothers and sisters
But who do you think put those boarders and classified you as Kenyan, Rwandan, etc. And yet you are within the same region. Smh
@uu2013 interahamwe , first of where did she mention any ethnic in her OP ? Second, don't run your mouth , especially if you don't even know how to write proper kinyarwanda , have zero culture, and no self respect. Jya kurya kigingi we , nicyo interahamwe zishoboye , nako interashavu.
@uu2013 Simply interahamwe itanazi no kwandika ikinyarwanda. Nako interashavu , ubu ntubona ko upfuye nabi ? Upfuye uhagaze . Upfuye urota wa muhoro utazongera gufata . Mbese upfuye urugukwiriye. Ndasetse ndatembagara mboye ugeze no mu "rurimi"(language) ,that's how desperate you've become . Komeza unsetse rwose. Hageze isaha yo kurya yawe.
@uu2013 Poor interahamwe. The machete-man . Where are you hiding ? The UN has been looking for you but it may find you one day , keep spewing hate online . You're a stain to humanity . Pitiful kureba uko upfuye uhagaze disi . Ariko nirwo rugukwiriye , komeza disi.
Very good debate
We were like how is she passing the Mike all the tym but for real this session was a real deal
Sophia you should also have conversations that are focused on empowering men because they're the backbone of the society..moreso here in 254 🇰🇪
She won't, this movement of feminism wants more than same rights and opportunities, they want women suppremacy, have you noticed how little the men have been given speech in that video.
@@ruzimabonieck6908very true. patriarchal society can never be washed away because women demand for equality ..it doesn't even make sense
@@ruzimabonieck6908yes feminism is a deadly poison ☠️ it’s currently destroying America and the west plz don’t bring it to Africa!!!! Yes I do agree our sisters need better and more opportunities but this movement is evil, it’s just a front for more sinister things like switching roles of Men and women and lgbt values. Rwanda be very careful. Just look at that John Baptiste guy his organization literally said “helping men take on women roles.” This movement is like cancer it starts with minor issues then grows and destroys the fabric of society it’s aim is to eventually destroy the sense of the “family”
These women can't get enough😂. Good step up, appreciate Rwanda.
Washonnye hhh, ntibibahagije brashaka ibirenzeho, nuriya wababazaga ntiya icyakabiri cy'ijambo abatipe Bari bahari
Yes unless they account for 60% of bricklayers and miners around the world. Until then the conversation should be about equity and not equality.
Amazing debate. Could this discussions also be done in Kinyarwanda Language to reach those who don’t understand English.
Urakoze cane, it's because they are the main victims
Not approx. 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu. Over 1M. 🙏🏽
I been in that place it’s beautiful 🤩
She is such a good host, very dynamic and confident. I LOVE IT❤
Kindly do the street debate in Zimbabwe please, interesting topic
Anderson i love your courage too
Very wonderful programme DW,danke🙏🏾.
East Africa at large needs more women as vocal as these especially in Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania,too.
Except for Kenya (relatively),most women especially in rural Uganda, Tanzania,Rwanda and Burundi women are still trapped in what we may call archaic traditions.Sad!!!
Progress needs to cut across not only in the political scene but also other sectors .
Ugandan 🇺🇬 watching from Beijing 🇨🇳
Absolutely delighted to see you watching!
Can't believe this!
I wish My country Gambia 🇬🇲 can have a mindset like Rwanda 🇷🇼 government we still last in terms of development and women are hardworking ❤❤Rwanda people proud of you all for leading the way🍾💫🏙️🏙️prosperity of women is prosperous nation
It's more of equity than equality equipping women with vital skills to make the counties robust
Most bricklayers and sewage workers are men we need equality in these sectors as well. Following the equality logic to the end. Not to the coveted and desired powerful positions.
😂😂😂😂😂
Well said brother
Why don't you ask your sisters, mother, and aunties to help you. And when you have a daughter, tell her "honey, don't become a doctor or lawyer. Become a sewage worker." 😂
White people with heavy pockets lied to these beautiful African ladies, someone else is making money out of this narrative. Women had always their say in our culture even pre-colonial era. White people brought all in this mess that we are seeing today, I know my grandmother was a strong woman and she wasn't speaking English. Equality is a fallacy, even your little or grand sibling will never be equal to you. Have you ever seen a family of six being poor or rich at same level, God gives different gifts to each so that we can help each other no to compare ourselves. I am waiting for the really African gender equality not the white man indoctrination.
@@ravena3253if everyone is a doctor who will get rid of the shit?
Edith Kimani is an amazing talent! I love the questions she asks and her presentation style. This conversation would have been so much richer if the men spoke more. They seemed sidelined. It's important for BOTH genders to talk about these things.
We appreciate that you are watching and for your suggestion too. It is well noted
hhhhhh this looks like Barbieland
be quiet Ken
Hhhh😂, you saw it through, well said.
😂😂😂
To much quick change is not good it can do damage in progress slow it down and build slowly for men do adapt well and not causing confusion to them men in Africa especially thank you.
A very good conversation
❤❤❤
I am in love ❤
Have you talked to village women speaking Kinyarwanda to get the fact Compared those speaking English????
Ha yeah let her try it!!! She can't do it ,this is just BS video!
In rural areas women are abusing men because they know the gov will punish a man who tries to touch a woman
Rwanda songa mbere ❤👍🏾💪🏾
LOVELY RWANDA GIRLS .. HOW WELL THEY SPEAK ... ❤️🌹👌‼️✔️
As an Ashanti woman , women not being allowed to own lands is mind-blowing, I thank God that this has changed
Finally!!
Rwandan girls never minse their words ... 👌‼️✔️
BOSE is asmart Rwandez lady keep it up
Genocide is everywhere. And everyone went through not only tutsi but everyone in that country.
Who were being killed in 94: .....(fill in)(Rwanda)
@@ruzimabonieck6908 Rwandan people (Hutu, twa, foreigners, and tutsi).
@@newafricahorizontv1984 where did you get this propaganda, sure there some good noble Hutu who got killed due to helping and hiding some tutsi, they don't amount to more than 80 or a 100, genocide means targeting a large amount of people far more than 100 people, there is a reason why it's called genocide against Tutsi, they estimate 800000 tutsi died but even after they still discovered where other bodies were thrown or buried, hutu killed their own who they considered to have betrayed so nuh, it can't be called genocide against Hutu, go get educated but yes when they remember, they also remember the noble hutus who helped and hid tutsi fleeing from the spear.
Tutsi were majorly targeted in 1994, Other tribes were not exterminated as massively
SAUDI 🇸🇦 has oil , and congo 🇨🇩 has gold South africa 🇿🇦 diamonds. Rwanda, we have genocide our best-selling products in the world 😂😂 what a shame after 30 years is time to move on.
Is that a real street debate, or they block the road and just interview 10 people's choices.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's a car free zone no cars are allowed to pass or bikes
It's Biryogo car free zone where restaurants are located
If only our sisters understand the trou gender equality rather than taking it as away of weaken men. Because this, is destroying our society.
This is not a street debate !! You just blocked the road and interviewed some chosen people 😂😂😂
As a rwandan, i can assure you, those women you're talking about sitting in the parliament doing nothing😂...they just care all keeping their job and saraly safe, but one little mistake or talkative youre out. But on other side, in rwanda i can sure you there is a gender equality in social living
You got it right my brother 😂
Glory, johnbatista, boze and others, I love your courage. The mindset of some people far from town and out of the country have totally changed because of the damn shit genocide happened in 1994
If something is done fast for the men of Rwanda to feel equal to their women … things may still go south?
Gender equality is just killing this young women....just from this clip alone the women are angry who ever is given an opportunity to say something is just so bitter..... And the moderater herself is not letting the men get their points across.....
We are constantly using the wrong terminology when it comes to this topic.
In my opinion we should be fighting for „Equity“ and not „Equality“
It’s basic common sense to know that men and women are not equal and can’t never be equal in any way but are unique in their own different ways and this uniqueness can lead to countries development if we strive for Equity and not the later.
It’s not fair to strive for the so call gender equality only when it comes to white collar jobs and not in construction and mines. I don’t see so many women dying in gold and cobalt mines in DRC and other places around the world.
Don't they interlink? Equity and Equality....
@@JacquiM2023 they are two different concepts which gives different results when applied.
Were Hutu also not deleted by Tutsi? Sounds like Tutsi were the only victims of the war
Most brick layers, sewage workers are men, i guess by these women logic and modern day feminism, we need equality in both profession and not big positions only, so women don't be hypocrites and fight for those professions too.
Didn’t see your comment before sending it mine but we are on the same page
@@thebreak786 yes, brother, feminism is progressing to a disease of ego, women seeking empowerment over men, getting paid more while they supervise men who are getting paid less while building their countries (roads, buildings, sewage ways, bridges, hospitals, cars,planes etc...
Well, make sure to encourage your daughters to become sewage workers then. Right now every parent is encouraging them to be doctors, nurses, and lawyers.
@@ravena3253 thnks for confirming my points, you women wants equality when it benefits you but when the reality of it equality hits, it changes and you bring no sense argument like this ofcourse any parent wants his or her children to make it in life but it's not gonna happen for everyone, so if you want equality truly stop the doublestandards, 50% of women in brick laying, 50% of women in mining etc..., We all have to be represented well in each field that will be gender balance hhhh after all that's the meaning of this word unless feminists are a bunch of hypocrites liars.
Must have well-protected Women's Police in Rwanda available in minutes on call to women ... ✔️
That would be absolutely brilliant!
Patriarchy does not mean abuse, oppression, disadvantage and all the labels that it's given.
Are you sure the man at 6:50 isn't a Somali immigrant? 😂
But seriously speaking, this was an interesting discussion. Teenage pregnancy is unfortunately a big issue in Africa, in some countries you have middle aged men impregnating underage girls and this is leading to medical conditions like fistula for these poor girls. We have a long way to go as a continent. But i'm impressed by all the progress Rwanda has been making.
not really some Rwandese have Cushite's origin that why they resembles
@@FACTS12254 I'm aware of that. But because of the centuries of mixing with their other brothers, they have their own look. I've been watching so many documentaries and tourist videos about Rwanda and this is the first time that I've seen one who looks 100% Somali, including his hair.
@@ravena3253 those are mixed but a full tutsi who are not mixed they look somali or ethiopian ,
@@FACTS12254haha fully tutsi , what does that even mean, tutsi isn’t a foundation ethnicity but a result of mixture with Bantu of that region , that guy isn’t ethically tutsi trust me I know as someone from that region .
@@nathanolson3135 SO AND u think u know my history better than me .let leave this topic here u don't know what u are talking about
So long as they do not emasculate the men. We need competent people irrespective of gender. Afurika must wake to the reality that COMPETENCE is key changing our situation. Men must head their homes - wives must submit to their OWN husbands. In the workplace, we want a competent PERSON! By implementing a quota system we are depriving ourselves of selecting the best man for the job. If the world average is 20% and that includes developed countries, then we are employing a model that only works on paper. I was raised by a mother (woman), I married a woman, I have daughters and sisters. Why should I not represent their interests as a man in parliament?
That same passage in Ephesians asks the couple to submit to one another. The main thing is for men and women to respect each other and work together.
The women raise their children, so how you raise your boys will be reflected in what kind of men they grow into. Same for your daughters. You're on the right track.
Slavery has been abolished years ago . Those cultural systems should be abolished.
African culture did originate from the events of slave trade brother
I was in Rwanda 3weeks back but I was amazed how Rwandan women are so reserved & respectful to men.
Am only worried if feminist toxicity infiltrates this model society.
B'se the western world is in a mess with disregard to marriage & family structure as a whole.
Go home and raise your kids in the Lord ....
VERY VERY EDUCATED WOMEN IN RWANDA ... CULTURALLY RWANDA IS NOW THE EXAMPLAR FOR THE WHOLE WORLD ... WHY WAS THE GENOCIDE NOT NIPPED IN THE BUD ? RWANDA COULD HAVE REQUISITIONED ONE BRIGADE EACH FROM KENYA & UGANDA TO ASSIST RWANDAN ARMY ... PRAY THAT IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN ... ✝️
The country has more serious issues, like kagame not women
why Rwandans are so similar to Somalis in appearance especially women
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rwanda is not the most gender neutral country in Africa, its the most gender neutral country in the world! And I'm not Rwandese....
what country do you think is the most gender neutral?
@@JoyAjuluchukwu Rwanda for me....hence my comment. I've been following progress there and it's impressive...
Still complaining....
Germaine since Le sexe autour du monde ...
Beautiful Rwanda, this is why west want to come to divide the nation again and destroy it,
Only stupid africans will support them
By giving our president, a bad image. Which Rwandese we don't care
There is no such thing as equality. We different. Men and women are different we'll never be equal. We perform different duties. That's why weman can be pregnant but men can't. We do as hard as good jobs and weman can't. Don't be cheated.
The lobbying and media show you the picture of a perfect Rwanda, same rwanda as zero democracy, sema rwanda we live in jail with an open sky , in rwanda there not equally, before talking about gender equally let us talk about citizens equally. We hutus have zero rights in our country we live in an apartheid country most good jobs and opportunities are given to young tutsi, tutsi are minority but have 85 % in public sector and 95 % in private sector . In a fair election, tutsi will never win the elections but our vote and voices mean nothing to the world . We are paying for what the previous hutus generation did. In 1994, most of us were not even born on teenagers, but in their eyes, we are all genocidors. Not acknowledging this in equality of rwanda's society is a crime.
Your president shouldn’t see this your comment lol😂
@uu2013 What do you have now more than what you had since 1959 up to 1994? You claimed to be absolute majority ( 90 % ), then you had entire country for 40 years, then Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire was on your side, then France was on your side, Belgium was on side, United Nations led by Egyptian Butros Ghali was on your side, the list goes on...... but with all that, you had a humiliating defeat. Now, the question is this: What do you have now, different or more than what you had before?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 a shitty congolese calling herself a Rwandan
Do you think we can't recognize it??
Bro do mess with us we are too clever for people like anyone who wants bad for our country please
When speak on Rwanda think 100 times 😂😂😂
@thebreak786 she or he is not a Rwandan
This thing is a congolese 😅😅😅
Firstly we don't have Hutus and Tutsis or Twas
Congolese are the only people who wants that back in Rwanda 😂😂😂
@kagabopaul3126 Keep putting garbage under your doormat
The musician woman in this says " it's about culture", so why do you want to abandon your culture? And whose culture are you now adopting?
What about the 800,000 people they slaughtered? Did anyone repent for that brutality yet?
"they" WHO? since the Northern Hemisphere NOAHIDE(Japheth-Ham-Shem) RELIGIONS(a pope=Eugenio Pacelli, and priests in Rwanda) were behind the Psychosis and genocide that took place in both RWANDA, Portugal and Germany?
Yes like Germany this country has gone through profound national self reflection which had been rapidly transforming it's society for the better to ensure things like that never happen again
😂😂😂Rwandan is a fictional country.
Yes we are a fictional country😂😂😂 are you happg 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Women in Rwanda suffer. Stop telling the propaganda. They are many women in the parliament but they are led by men. They keep quite when woman are raped or put in jail like Yvonne Idamange Iryamugwiza, etc
STOP BRINGING GENOCIDAIRES IN THIS
equality doesnt mean Women commit crimes and it goes unpunished.... lol
