Rwanda

 

Some cool news from Rwanda last week that hasn't been reported much. The small African nation now officially has the largest female majority parliament---in the world! The Speaker of the House is also a woman, Ms Mukantabana Rose and all were sworn in by President Kagame.

So, Rwanda is also the first African country to meet the 50% quota requirement for women. Cool.

For centuries Africa (as a whole) has lead the way in many disciplines/areas of society. So no surprise there!

Here is hoping the makeup of parliament, enables positive change!
