Abstract

This research investigated the position of Gender Equality in the Rwandan Legal Framework. The general objective of this study was to identify the challenges that impede the effective implementation of the principle of Gender Equality in Rwanda. The research concludes that over the past 25 years, Rwanda has achieved impressive progress in establishing legal and policy frameworks that support the principle of gender equality. The research reveals that there is still a lack of compliance with the effective implementation of the principle of gender equality in practice, along with some persistent legal challenges. The research recommends that the remaining gaps in the law should be amended to uphold the principle of gender equality. There is a need to improve the awareness of the true principle of Gender Equality to reduce the existing stereotypes in the community.
