WOMEN MONTH 2014: BEST ARTICLE EVER ON RWANDA P.R AND DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNS AND THE ILLUSION OF GENDER EQUALITY. Lets hope Ms JUSTINA MUTALE the African Women of the year 2012 reads it as she repeatedly asserts in the House of Parliament how RWANDAN WOMEN ARE SO EMPOWERED...hmm Another pillar of Rwanda’s disinformation campaign is that the government promotes gender-equality. 64% percent of parliamentarians in Rwanda’s lower house are women, but this number masks reality. Although women are very visible in Rwanda politics, their ability to shape the future of women, ironically, is circumscribed. Rwanda’s parliament has limited influence. Parliamentarians—be they male or female—actually have little power to legislate on behalf of their constituents. They have little room to develop policy or even to debate openly; space for free and open political expression is limited. Put differently, an assessment of political realities shows that women parliamentarians in Rwanda are mere accessories of power; they do not actually wield any of it., africanarguments.org/2014/03/17/rwandas-twitter-gate-the-disinformation-campaign-of-africas-digital-president-by-susan-thomson/
