RWAMREC’s vision is a Rwandan peaceful society where women and men share roles and responsibilities of raising families and governing society inequality and respect of human rights. It hence has a distinctive and innovative mission to promote gender equality through the reconstruction of a non-violent identity of men, adoption of healthy masculine behaviors and men’s empowerment to be positive and supportive partners, role models for other men, and change agents in promoting healthy families and women’s socio-economic development, eradication of sexual and gender-based violence, positive fatherhood and men’s health in Rwanda.
RWAMREC specific domains of intervention include but are not limited to 1) Women Empowerment with interventions contributing towards women’s empowerment through engaging men as partners, beneficiaries, and agents of change, 2) Healthy Families with interventions to promote peaceful families through prevention of intimate partner violence and any other form of gender discrimination, 3) Child Support and Youth Mentorship with interventions focusing on the promotion of gender equality and rights of children and youth, and, 4) Gender Justice with interventions targeting the provision of response services to survivors of GBV and engagement of actors in policy advocacy and accountability at all levels.
