“Women are an important pillar of the development of our country. You referred to the gold that is hidden inside a woman. For me, it is not hidden, I have always seen it. It is not something we had to discover, it has always been visible. That is why it is easy to promote gender equality. When it comes to rights and fighting for them, I start with reminding women to fight for their own rights, but I also remind every Rwandan that they should not expect anyone else to give them their rights. You have to stand up, fight, and give yourself the rights you have been denied.” President Kagame | International Women’s Day.
