Since the end of the genocide, Rwanda has become Africa's gender equality success story for high female representation in politics, education and the workplace. BUT What does empowerment actually mean to its new generation of women?

Between July and August 2017, my friend and reporting partner Eleonore Hamelin and I spent a month in Rwanda, trying to understand the successes and challenges of the country’s new gender equality paradigm, and how it affects the daily life of women born after the genocide.

The reporting project was supported by an Innovation in Development Reporting Grant from the European Journalism Centre; you can find the project page here.
