Women’s council to eradicate illiteracy among women

After attaining 90 percent of its action plan in the development of women, the National Women Council (NWC) has said this year it will embark on educating illiterate women across the country. In its annual congress held on Friday, Dr. Diane Gashumba, the president of the council, said that the emancipation of Rwandan women has been achieved in the last seven-year mandate, but illiteracy among women is still a challenge, due to previous regimes that did not value women education.
