“Gira Ingoma – One Drum Per Girl” seeks to address persistent gender stereotypes, sexist attitudes and discriminatory patterns (norms, barriers, practices, perceptions, etc…) which prevent girls to perform non-traditional jobs/roles in the creative and cultural industries such as drumming, warrior dance (intore), poetry (kwivuga), singing, juggling, etc… and therefore, perpetuate inequalities and exclusion. Two hundred and fifty (250) girls from ten (10) primary and/or secondary schools in Huye district, with the support of their teachers and trainers, will engage in a quarterly dialogue with policy and decision makers at school, sector, district, province and national level, on how to achieve gender equality and women empowerment in the cultural sector. The aim is to give Rwandan girls the power to dream, to act, and to reinvent themselves on their own terms |
