About this statute

This article says the law sets out the responsibilities, organization, and functioning of the National Women’s Council (CNF) and its relationship with other State organs. The National Women’s Council is an independent body with legal personality and financial and administrative autonomy, but it is supervised by the Ministry in charge of Gender. The National Women’s Council is made up of women aged 18 or older, including emancipated persons under the Civil Code, and is under the tutelage of the Ministry responsible for Gender. The National Women’s Council must have its head office in Kigali City, and it may be moved elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary. The National Women’s Council must advocate and mobilise around women’s issues, build women’s capacity, encourage women’s participation in development, promote gender equality, address serious issues affecting women’s development and rights, and collaborate with similar foreign bodies.
