Introduction
The Rwanda Men Resource Centre (RWAMREC) is a Rwandan non-governmental organization, working to promote gender equality, and positive masculinities and engaging men to eliminate all forms of men’s violence against women and children.
The vision of RWAMREC is a Rwandan peaceful society where women and men share roles and responsibilities of raising families and governing society in equality and respect of human rights.
RWAMREC’s distinctive and innovative mission is to promote gender equality through the
reconstruction of a non-violent identity of men, the adoption of healthy masculine behaviors and men’s empowerment to be positive and supportive partners, role models for other men and change agents in promoting healthy families and women’s socio-economic development, eradication of sexual and gender-based violence, positive fatherhood and men’s health in Rwanda. As part of the Generation Gender coalition in Rwanda, RWAMREC collaborates with partners to advocate for gender justice and empower youth and civil society organizations.
Context and justification
The Generation Gender program aims to foster gender justice across seven countries, including Rwanda. In Rwanda, the coalition, comprising RWAMREC, the Health Development Initiative (HDI), and the African Youth and Adolescents Network on Population and Development – Rwanda Chapter (AfriYAN Rwanda), works to address gender inequality and combat genderbased violence (GBV).
Our advocacy focuses on four key areas: engaging men in promoting gender equality, combating sexual harassment, advocating for LGBTIQ rights, and addressing harmful cultural practices.
Creating four impactful visual stories that address the coalition's four advocacy priorities serves as a powerful tool for concise yet emotionally resonant messaging. These stories have the potential to ignite engagement and stimulate discussions on the platforms of the Gen G Rwanda coalition.
At this end, RWAMREC would like to recruit a qualified consultancy firm or individual
consultants to produce four visual impact stories documenting the progress of Generation G
Rwanda.
