Women Making a Difference in Rwanda

In this video clip it looks at women's roles in Rwanda shortly following the genocide. One of the most powerful video clips is right in the beginning when there is a close up on women delicately washing the skulls, bones, and teeth of Tootsies killed in this genocide. Politician Speciose has made it her mission to rebuild these fallen villages and give orphaned children a safe haven. She shows women clearly making a difference for the betterment of society. I think that this is important to show because although Rwanda may be struggling, active women are taking a stand to make their country a better place for all to live. Very powerful and shows the true act of feminism making a difference. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwRyRMLXTVA
