Although many travelers are still hesitant to visit Rwanda on account of the Genocide, the nation is rebuilding and stronger than ever, something that can be uniquely attributed to their majority-female parliament. Although women make up almost half of the world’s population, they occupy less than a quarter of political seats, according to a study by National Geographic. However, the same cannot be said about Rwanda. The Genocide itself paved the way for gender equality for women to claim their seat in power and change their nation for the better.
