Abstract
Description
In the wake of Rwanda's genocide, a remarkable shift occurred in villages that experienced intense military and army violence. Women, stepping into the void left by conflict, emerged as leaders, reshaping their communities. This brief explains how female leadership spurred significant improvements in welfare, reduced violence, and influenced gender norms. These results provide a compelling case for empowering women in governance and household roles globally.
