Rwanda announced that women now make up 50% of the cabinet.
About:
The East African nation, Rwanda has received international recognition for female representation in government, with women making up 61 % of parliament members.
The move comes two days after Ethiopia announced one of the world’s few “gender-balanced” Cabinets with 50 % women.
With this, Rwanda joins a handful of countries, mostly European, where women make up 50 % or more of ministerial positions, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union and UN Women.
