One Outcome of Rwanda Genocide 25 Years Ago: More Women in Parliament
update
The genocide in Rwanda 25 years ago left an estimated 800,000 people, mostly Tutsis, dead. Since then, Rwanda has made progress in recovering from the devastation, growing its economy with GDP growth of six to eight percent a year since 2003, according to the World Bank. Also, Rwanda now has the highest percentage of female parliamentarians in the world - more than 60 percent. VOA Correspondent Mariama Diallo has more.
