How Rwanda leads the world.

[Tommy Tainant]

The Rwanda parliament has the highest percentage of female MPs in the world - 61.3%

South Africa and Senegal are other African countries in the top 10.

More female MPs in UK than ever before but this is how we rank against the world

The Uk is in at # 37 - just behind El Salvador and Zimbabwe.

The "Land of the Free" sneaks in at #103, behind Muslim shitholes like Algeria, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Pakistan , Bangladesh and Albania. Obviously there are more opportunities for women in these "shitholes".

Hats off to the progressive Rwandans.

Well we know why that country is a shit hole.

Rwanda is a third-world shithole. It used to be halfway civilized when it was colonized by the Belgians, but it doesn't rank high on my choice of places to vacation.

Rwanda

"Borders may close without notice. Be aware of the following security conditions:

Rwanda-Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) border:

• The Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, an armed group that includes former soldiers and supporters of the regime that orchestrated the 1994 genocide, operates in eastern DRC, near the border.
• Congolese armed forces and UN peacekeepers continue combat operations against armed rebel and militia groups in North Kivu and South Kivu provinces. Violence targeting civilians sporadically breaks out including rape, kidnapping, and pillaging.

Volcanoes National Park (Parc National des Volcans)/Nyungwe Forest:

• Armed groups operate on the DRC side of Volcanoes National Park (Virunga). Exercise extreme caution; the border may not be clearly marked.
• Obtain a permit from the Rwanda Office of Tourism and National Parks (ORTPN) prior to entry. The ORTPN may provide military escorts due to the risk from armed groups.

Grenade attacks have occurred sporadically over the last five years. Genocide memorial sites, markets, bus stops, and taxis have been targets in Kigali and Ruhengeri (Musanze).

Precautions:

• Avoid demonstrations and use vigilance during your movements around the country. Even events intended to be peaceful can become violent.
• Maintain caution in areas frequented by foreigners.
• Be cautious when traveling outside of cities and along border areas.
• Monitor news and consular messages.

Crime: Most reported incidents involve robbery, pick-pocketing, petty theft, theft from hotel rooms, and residential burglaries. Burglars may break and enter, trick domestic staff into allowing them entrance, or convince residential security guards to participate.

• Avoid walking alone especially after dark.
• Do not display cash and valuables.
• Drive with doors locked and windows closed.
• Always carry a copy of your U.S. passport and visa. Keep original documents in a secure location."

Apparently all the men died of AIDS.

We know you don't know why. That's really the point.

Sure, it's just that places like Rwanda have way more problems

If Rhwanda was a paradise on Earth it wouldn't be because of the gender of the parliament any more than it being the cause of their present problems.

You could just as easily say that America is a great country because it's never had a female chief executive.

You are creating a straw man. Nobody is claiming that Rwanda is a paradise on earth.

It's very simple ... no one claims it's a paradise. There is a copious evidence that it's among the worst countries in the world in terms of poverty, human rights, and general lack of infrastructure.

None of which has anything to do with the gender of the parliament.

You were alluding to people claiming it was a paradise. But it doesnt really matter. On this one issue they lead the world. Why is that a big problem for you ?

----------------------------------------------- but its majority of women in their tribal councils and government are responsible for the success that the 'rawandans' have had eh Tommy ??

You were alluding to people claiming it was a paradise.

You are either deliberately or through sheer ignorance misunderstanding what I wrote. I'm not sure which answer reflects more poorly on you.

However, if you're looking to make some kind of association between gender equality and the quality of government ... you couldn't have chosen a worse example than Rwanda.

I am referring to opportunity. Women can fuck up as much as men and I have the proof to hand in the UK. But Rwandan women have the opportunity, far more than the UK and the US. so do women in many other countries that we consider to be backward or oppressive. Why is that a problem ?

Come back when you can spell Rwanda.

Please provide a quote where I said it was a problem.

While we're on the subject ... Qatar... one of the most progressive of Gulf States has a 100% male legislature. What is the correlation between their economic success and that fact?

What has economic success got to do with it ? You are trying to shoehorn the facts to fit your world view.
What I would say is that Rwandan women have better opportunities than women in Qatar, and the US and UK. Why does that bother you ?
