President Paul Kagame has saluted women the world over, on the occasion of the International Women's Day (March 8), a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.

Every year on March 8, Rwanda joins the world to celebrate the International Women’s Day.

During the same celebrations in 2022, the President stressed that equality is a right not a favour.

At the time, he urged the nation to do even more and better to ensure that the next generations of "our daughters and granddaughters inherit a nation” where their aspirations have no limits.
