Rwanda (18/20)

Rwanda has one of the highest percentages of women in parliament in the world, with women holding 61% of the seats in the country’s national legislature. This is the result of a deliberate push for gender equality following the 1994 genocide, which left the country in a state of devastation. Women have been instrumental in the rebuilding of Rwanda, particularly in sectors like healthcare, education, and the economy. The country’s commitment to female empowerment has earned it global recognition as a model for gender-inclusive governance.
