Monitoring the Prosecution of Gender-Related Crimes in Rwanda: A Brief Field Report

  • Ariane Brunet and Isabelle Solon Helal

Abstract

This short field report describes the work of the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development (ICHRDD) as it pertains to the prosecution of gender-related crimes in Rwanda. The ICHRDD organized a coalition of women’s groups to advocate for prosecution, monitor prosecution proceedings, and support women involved in the process. This work is one example of calls for treatment of rape as a war crime and of support for victims of gender-based violence made by the Machel Study.
