“自2003年以來，盧旺達将性别平等确立為盧旺達社會的核心價值。婦女為社會和國家的福祉做出了巨大貢獻。今天，女性在盧旺達議會中占據了60%以上的席位。”基莫尼奧大使補充說，在所有其他機構中，女性比例也是最高的。
“Since 2003, when Rwanda established gender equality as a core value of our society. Women have contributed a lot to wellbeing of our society and to that of the country. Today, women hold over 60 % of the seats in Rwanda’s Parliament” Kimonyo said adding that the country has also the highest proportion of women in all other institutions.
全球化智庫表示，性别不平等加上氣候和環境危機是我們這個時代可持續發展最大的挑戰。要實作氣候穩定和環境可持續性，并實作性别平等，就需要不同的利益相關方共同努力，增強所有婦女和女童的權能，特别是在後疫情時代複蘇的過程中。
According to CCG, gender inequality coupled with climate and environment crises are the greatest sustainable development challenges of our time. The climate stabilization and environmental sustainability with gender equality require different stakeholders to work together for the empowerment of all women and girls, especially in the post pandemic recovery.
