The Rwanda MenEngage Network (RWAMNET) unites organizations engaging men and boys for gender equality, GBV prevention, and improved health outcomes in Rwanda. Coordinated by RWAMREC, RWAMNET promotes advocacy, capacity-building, and policy change through the MenEngage approach. Active since 2008, the network supports youth-led action, civil society engagement, and gender-transformative policies through collaboration and information-sharing. RWAMNET The Rwanda MenEngage Network (RWAMNET) brings together organizations to engage men and boys for gender equality in Rwanda. As a national MenEngage network, we aim to work together to protect human rights, prevent violence, and improve health-seeking behaviours and health outcomes, including preventing HIV in Rwanda. The network focuses on advocacy and mobilisation, network leadership and information-sharing, especially on male engagement approaches in Rwanda. RWAMNET was established in 2008. The network is supported by a national Steering Committee and is chaired and coordinated by the Rwanda Men’s Resource Centre (RWAMREC). The Steering Committee provides guidance and technical assistance to the network in implementing the MenEngage approach in Rwanda by the different network members, and to ensure proper coordination of efforts to promote gender equality and GBV prevention through the engagement of men and boys. The pathways and long-term objectives for Generation Gender in Rwanda reflect the global Theory of Change and include: 1. Public support: A growing number of young men and women are mobilised to promote gender justice and prevent GBV on and offline in Rwanda. 2. Policy change: Gender machineries and other high-level government institutions are open and positively adhere to feedback from CSOs and communities for gender transformative and youth-inclusive policies and laws. 3. Civil society strengthening: Rwandan civil society has increased understanding of policy formulation mechanisms and using evidence to act as effective monitors and advocates for gender justice, gender transformative and youth-inclusive laws and policies.

Learn about RWAMREC’s Tinyuka! (Ose!) project, empowering teenage mothers in Gatsibo District through gender equality training, mental health support, and entrepreneurship. Together, we foster dignity, independence, and positive masculinity. TINYUKA! About the Project RWAMREC (Rwanda Men's Resource Center) is proud to lead the Tinyuka! (Ose!) project, a socio-economic reintegration initiative for teenage mothers in the Remera and Rwimbogo sectors of Gatsibo District, Eastern Province of Rwanda. This project aligns with RWAMREC’s mission to engage men to promote gender equality, eradicate gender-based violence, foster positive masculinity, and empower women and girls. Despite national efforts to reduce teenage pregnancies, the rates remain concerning, especially in Gatsibo, which records the highest prevalence in the country. Teenage mothers often face health risks, social stigma, school dropout, exclusion from their families, and economic dependency. Tinyuka! (Ose!) directly addresses these challenges by empowering teenage mothers to rebuild their lives with dignity and independence. Our Approach The project focuses on a holistic and transformative approach, strengthening teenage mothers' social and economic integration while also addressing broader community attitudes. Key pillars of the project include: Capacity building on gender equality, sexual and reproductive health, mental health, and entrepreneurship. Support for income-generating activities (IGAs) to enable young mothers to move from informal to formal sectors. Formation of savings and credit groups (Ibimina) to build solidarity and financial resilience. Engagement of fathers and adolescent fathers through positive masculinity workshops to create a supportive environment. Community sensitization to challenge harmful gender norms and promote sustainable change. Our Impact Through Tinyuka! (Ose!), RWAMREC works to: Train 60 teenage mothers aged 12–19, including young mothers living with disabilities, in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and business development. Provide start-up capital and kits to support their small businesses, primarily in the sale of fruits and vegetables. Facilitate psychosocial support and mental health services through partnerships with professional counselors. Train 60 fathers of teenage mothers and 60 adolescent fathers on gender equality, violence prevention, and positive masculinity. Mobilize local leaders, families, and the wider community to foster an environment of acceptance, support, and opportunity for teenage mothers. Why Gatsibo? Gatsibo District has the highest recorded teenage pregnancy rates nationally, fueled by poverty, limited access to reproductive health services, and prevailing gender inequalities. Tinyuka! (Ose!) is a timely and critical intervention to help break this cycle and offer a brighter future for teenage mothers and their children. Sustainability RWAMREC ensures sustainability by: Strengthening existing community structures and partnerships with local government, women’s organizations, and youth groups. Actively involving beneficiaries in project monitoring and evaluation. Promoting positive masculinities to shift social norms and guarantee longer-term community transformation. The project builds on RWAMREC’s proven success in similar initiatives, such as the Huye District project, and is expected to deliver lasting change for beneficiaries and the community at large. Together, we can help teenage mothers reclaim their future with confidence, dignity, and opportunity. Tinyuka! Ose! — Dare to Rise!

RWAMREC’s "Engaging Men for Gender Equality in the Private Sector" project promotes women’s economic empowerment in Rwanda by transforming workplace cultures. Engaging male leaders and employees, the initiative fosters gender-inclusive companies, supports female entrepreneurs, and drives public awareness to close the gender gap in business. ENGAGING MEN FOR GENDER EQUALITY IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR À propos du projet Le RWAMREC est fier de présenter le projet « Engager les hommes pour l'égalité des sexes dans le secteur privé », une initiative ambitieuse visant à transformer les cultures d'entreprise et à soutenir l'autonomisation économique des femmes au Rwanda. Ce projet reconnaît que pour combler l'écart entre les sexes, il est crucial d'impliquer activement les hommes comme alliés : employeurs, collègues, partenaires et chefs d'entreprise. Bien que le Rwanda soit en tête du classement mondial en termes de représentation des femmes au parlement, les inégalités entre les sexes demeurent marquées dans le secteur privé. Les femmes sont confrontées à des taux de participation plus faibles, à des écarts salariaux, à une sous-représentation aux postes de décision et à des obstacles à l'entrepreneuriat. Ce projet s'attaque à ces problèmes en travaillant directement avec les entreprises, les entrepreneurs et le grand public afin de remettre en question les normes néfastes et de créer des environnements de travail sensibles au genre. Notre approche Le RWAMREC est fier de présenter le projet « Engager les hommes pour l'égalité des sexes dans le secteur privé », une initiative ambitieuse visant à transformer les cultures d'entreprise et à soutenir l'autonomisation économique des femmes au Rwanda. Ce projet reconnaît que pour combler l'écart entre les sexes, il est crucial d'impliquer activement les hommes comme alliés : employeurs, collègues, partenaires et chefs d'entreprise. En utilisant l'approche transformatrice de genre éprouvée du RWAMREC, le projet permettra de : Engager les PDG, les propriétaires et les équipes de haute direction de 50 entreprises de taille moyenne pour créer des environnements de travail plus inclusifs et plus équitables. Offrir une formation ciblée aux employés pour faire évoluer les normes et les attitudes sur le lieu de travail, en promouvant des espaces plus sûrs et plus favorables aux femmes. Soutenir les femmes entrepreneures et leurs maris pour remettre en question les normes traditionnelles de genre et renforcer la compétitivité des entreprises féminines. Mener des campagnes de sensibilisation du public par le biais de la radio, de la télévision et des médias sociaux pour inspirer un changement sociétal plus large dans les attitudes à l’égard de l’égalité des sexes dans les entreprises. Le projet se concentrera sur la ville de Kigali (Gasabo et Nyarugenge) et le district de Musanze, où sont basées de nombreuses entreprises de taille moyenne et femmes entrepreneurs. The impact of Engaging Men for Gender Equality in the private sector À la fin du projet, RWAMREC vise à atteindre : De meilleures conditions de travail pour les femmes salariées dans 20 entreprises activement engagées. Les femmes entrepreneures autonomes sont mieux soutenues par leurs partenaires pour prospérer en affaires. Des champions masculins reconnus au sein des entreprises qui militent en faveur de politiques et de pratiques sensibles au genre. L’engagement du public à travers des campagnes médiatiques a atteint 98 % des auditeurs de radio et 80 % des téléspectateurs au Rwanda. Mobilisation sur les réseaux sociaux avec des influenceurs promouvant une masculinité positive et l'autonomisation économique des femmes. Durabilité RWAMREC garantit que l'impact du projet durera au-delà de son échéancier de 18 mois en : Former des groupes de champions masculins au sein des entreprises pour soutenir les efforts de plaidoyer. Aider les entreprises à intégrer des politiques sensibles au genre dans leurs opérations. Établir des partenariats solides avec la Fédération du secteur privé (PSF) et le Business Professionals Network (BPN) pour institutionnaliser les pratiques d’égalité des sexes dans l’ensemble du secteur privé. Grâce à une collaboration continue, au mentorat et au plaidoyer, le projet contribuera à favoriser un environnement commercial dans lequel les femmes et les hommes peuvent s’épanouir de manière égale. When men and women work together as equals, businesses grow stronger and communities flourish. Together, let's transform the private sector for gender equality!

Discover BAHO (Building and Strengthening Healthy Households), a CARE Rwanda and RWAMREC initiative using the Indashyikirwa model to help couples live free from violence. The program promotes gender equality, economic empowerment, and healthier relationships through training, media outreach, and community engagement. BAHO The BAHO program is short for Building and Strengthening Healthy Households. It takes its name from the Kinyarwanda imperative form of the verb "to live", as the project mission is to provide couples with an opportunity to live in a safe household free from domestic violence using the Indashyikirwa model. Care Rwanda directs and funds the initiative implemented with RWAMREC's assistance. The Indashyikirwa couple curriculum, co-designed by CARE InternationalRwanda and RWAMREC, achieves this goal. This curriculum has effectively improved women's economic situations by reducing intimate partner violence (IPV). The program involves women's economic empowerment activities and engaging men as allies for gender equality. It also uses digital messaging and mass media/radio to raise awareness. The program works to shift attitudes around violence and control of women's mobility and financial assets. It promotes positive behaviours like communication, positive masculinity, shared household chores, and joint decision-making. Indashyikirwa has achieved scale and expanded beyond small pilots through government and civil society support. The Indashyikirwa model operates on various levels: Firstly, CARE and local partners provide couple curriculum training for couples at the household level with a curriculum that promotes healthy and equitable relationships among couples. This training reduces gender-based violence and increases women's economic decision-making power. Women participants are selected from VSLAs and bring their partners for couples training. Secondly, the program engages women in VSLAs outside their homes, which has proven to increase access to resources through savings and small businesses. Lastly, at the village level, the Indashyikirwa collaborates with opinion leaders and the government's "Friend of the Family" community-based volunteer network to organize regular community-level dialogues that shift gender-based violence norms.
