In June 2023 I had the opportunity to join the Nobel Women’s Initiative delegation to Rwanda which, involved visiting local communities and organizations who had played a role in supporting recovery after genocide, and participation in the Women Deliver Conference 2023.
Rwanda is renowned not only for a remarkable recovery after devastating conflict, but also for narrowing the gender gap in the process. As an advocate for inclusive peace and security, and gender equality, I was overwhelmed with happiness at the prospect of learning from their experience and connecting with inspiring women who are catalysts for change worldwide.
