Paul Kagame

We need more women as political leaders in order to bring the practical challenges facing communities into the public sphere with urgency and conviction. Socio-economic development would stall if women did not rise every day to provide healthcare, nutrition,
and education for their families. When women are absent from political leadership, it is too easy to take these contributions for granted, instead of allocating public funds to scale them up. Gender equality ultimately benefits everyone in society, therefore it
must also be a shared responsibility.
