VIM: Feminism in Rwanda #1

Season 1, Ep. 1

Rwanda is known as the country with most women in parliament and is considered the best place to be for a woman in Africa. What would you guess? How many seats are occupied by women?

In this episode, Hendrik and Marie Sophie, both volunteers in Rwanda, are discussing about their personal experiences with marriage, stereotypes and possible future scenarios of further emancipation in Rwanda.

    "The glue of well-being is friendships". Whether that is true, we don't know either. The sentence is not quoted either, it is made up. Arwen and Hendrik philosophize as elegantly as a blind man talks about seeing, but they have dealt with the subject a little beforehand. Arwen, for example, has written an article for the upcoming UEM journal. As soon as it is public, you will find a link here.If you have some thoughts, topics you are interested in, ideas, comments, or feedback, let us know on our social media platforms!Enjoy the talk!
