Our
Story
In 2006, a visionary group of Rwandan men founded RWAMREC, recognizing that men's resistance was a major barrier to gender equality. Realizing this system harmed women, children, and men alike, they chose to lead by example. Committed to promoting positive masculinities and addressing power dynamics, they sparked vital conversations in Rwanda and beyond. Believing that "when one of us is not free, none of us is free," they continue to inspire a movement towards a just and equitable society.
