Rwandan women: We are the future

A friend of mine forwarded me this article that talks about the emerging leadership class of women in Rwanda. In the 80 seat Rwandan parliament, 45 of these seats are filled by women.
I find this fascinating, especially since it could imply that we might need a major shake-up in our societies (like Rwanda's genocide) for women to take on more leadership roles and more responsibilities in the public sphere.

Here is the article.
