To What Extent Were Women's Roles Affected by the Rwandan Genocide?

Education centers between 80 and 90% are not working in Rwanda. As a result, many young people, both males and females, are unemployed, two thirds of the teachers do not have basic qualifications, and only 45% of the teachers enrolled in elementary school. Information Sources Assessment (502) Nowrojee, Binaifer. "Rwanda" Rwanda. September 1996, Human Rights Watch Network April 6, 2014 This report was written by Binaifer Nowrojee in September 1996 to investigate the spread of sexual violence in Rwanda and its impact.

According to these reports, in Rwanda society before massacre, male domination is the standard among family members.

In this article we are investigating women's involvement in the Rwandan genocide related to gender relations in Rwanda society. It shows that gender relations during mass genocide are more complicated than often explained, despite patriarchal existence in the Rwandan culture. The "traditional" concept presupposes that many "ordinary" women are involved in genocide, but whether it is a minority or most female citizen can not be guessed yet . Regarding the nature of women's participation, it is on a different level, but in agreement with sexual norms, women's public violence is much less than that of men.

In this article, we explore and analyze the role of women who exercised facilities as perpetrators during the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. Traditionally, genocide narration sacrificed women, and many women certainly suffered terrible cruelty and was a victim of Rwanda's torture. However, the characterization of women based on this gender is incorrect and incomplete. This paper presents interdisciplinary literature related to women's facilities during genocide and explores three core issues related to female agents during genocide in Rwanda. It discusses ways to mobilize women before and during the massacres, the specific actions of women exercising their surrogate rights, and what happens to these women after the massacres. This paper is based on interviews with female offenders and victims, and surveys collected by authors, including witnesses of direct violence by women.
