Women challenged to maximise their potential

The main challenge for Rwandan women, according to Chief Justice Aloysia Cyanzaire, is to strive even harder to maximise their potential,in all areas of life. She said this while addressing women who gathered to commemorate the International Women’s Day. A lot has been said and written about the excellent representation of Rwandan women on the political arena. In fact, even the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), commended this achievement by Rwanda’s females, of 56.25 percent representation. In spite of this great increase in the number of women parliamentarians since 1995, a lot more is still expected especially in the social and economic arenas.
