Together with our regional partners, Rwanda Women’s Network visited Isange One Stop Centre in Kacyiru to learn from Rwanda’s approach to supporting survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) and child abuse. The visit was part of a regional planning workshop focused on strengthening referral systems, building service providers’ skills, and improving access to coordinated, survivor-centred support. By learning from Rwanda’s experience and sharing knowledge across countries, partners are working towards stronger cooperation and more holistic support for women and girls affected by sexual and gender-based violence (S/GBV). @RIB_Rw @medicamondiale @uwonet @RwandaLocalGov @UNTrustFundEVAW @GBVnet @unwomenrwanda @ProfemmesTH @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda

One year ago, we said goodbye to our Ingabire Marie Immaculée, a valued member of the Rwanda Women’s Network Board. Today, we remember her dedication to justice, her commitment to women’s rights, and the lasting legacy she left in the lives of the women she stood with. Her contribution will always be remembered. 🕊️ Umwaka urashize dusezeye Ingabire Marie Immaculée, wari umwe mu bagize Inama y’Ubuyobozi ya Rwanda Women’s Network.

A new chapter begins! This morning, Rwanda Women’s Network and the Embassy of Sweden in Rwanda @SwedeninRW officially signed a three-year partnership to implement the Empowered Civil Society: Enhancing Capacity and Transparency for Gender Equality in Rwanda project. Through advocacy, capacity building, and sub-granting support to civil society organizations, the project will advance gender equality, human rights, child protection, climate action, family promotion, and inclusive governance. We look forward to the meaningful impact we will create together. @RwandaLocalGov @UNTrustFundEVAW @GBVnet @unwomenrwanda @ProfemmesTH @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @medicamondiale @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda

As part of the Femmes en Action Project, Rwanda Women’s Network (RWN) and North-South Cooperation are supporting vulnerable women in @KayonzaDistrict and @BugeseraDistr through trainings on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and savings. Building on these skills, participants are now forming Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to save together, access small loans, invest in income-generating activities supporting one another, and strengthen their economic resilience for a brighter future. @RwandaLocalGov @UNTrustFundEVAW @GBVnet @unwomenrwanda @ProfemmesTH @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @medicamondiale @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda

Did you know that many non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension, diabetes, and certain cancers, can develop silently for years before symptoms appear? That is why our Health Center hosts a health awareness session every Thursday morning, bringing community members together to learn about prevention and early detection. Participants receive valuable health information, undergo routine screenings, and gain practical guidance on reducing risk factors and taking proactive steps toward a healthier future. Join us and take charge of your health—because prevention starts with awareness. @RwandaLocalGov @UNTrustFundEVAW @GBVnet @RwandaHealth @CityofKigali @ahfrwanda @unwomenrwanda @ProfemmesTH @GenderMonitorRw @RwandaGender @trocaire @medicamondiale @KvinnaKvinnaINT @unwomenrwanda @AFD_France @ambafrancerwa @womenstrongintl @FemnetProg @balikungerii @GBVnet @WomenforWomen @giz_rwanda @CityofKigali
