Creating space for women in public life

Source: Monitor

Attending the National Security Symposium 2023 on ‘contemporary security challenges: the African Perspective’, changed my perspective of Rwanda and challenged my assumptions about the country. In a four-part series, I look at some specific areas where Rwanda seems to have done well, and the implications. Part three looks at women in public life.

I took a two-week break from the perspectives on Rwanda to mourn my aunt, the late Lady Justice Mary Stella Arach-Amoko of the Supreme Court of Uganda, who died on June 17. As I write this column, I am in Nebbi District to attend her burial. It is a great day to reflect on women in public life.
