About us Welcome speech Dear Esteemed Visitors, We are very much honoured to welcome you ALL to the official website of the Rwanda Men’s Resource Center (RWAMREC). RWAMREC recognizes gender equality as a fundamental human right and as a condition for effective and sustainable development. Nowadays, our global society is developing very quickly and taking many positive development directions. However, eradicating violence against women and children, and ending sexual and gender based violence to achieve gender equality remains a major challenge. RWAMREC was therefore created and is fully committed to providing its contribution to ongoing national efforts through promotion of positive forms of masculinities, engagement of men as positive and supportive partners, and strengthening strategic partnerships between women and men for that end. We believe that by so doing, we can provide a significant contribution in making of Rwanda a good society where men working in partnership with women can lead to effective promotion of positive gender relationships and healthy families. We want this website to work as an interaction forum, where RWAMREC will be able to get your views and ideas in promoting gender equality, and would like to invite you ALL to join us and make your invaluable contribution in this regard. Furthermore, we hope so much that our internet portal will also be an effective and efficient communication and information tool for ALL our partners and stakeholders in development. You are most welcome again.
