Founded in 1991, Haguruka means ‘stand up’ in Kinyarwanda. Haguruka’s mission is to promote and defend the rights of women and children. Our organization works towards improving access to justice and increased empowerment initiatives to ensure women and children may claim their rights throughout Rwanda. Haguruka continues at the forefront in the fight for women and children’s rights over the past three decades as a registered non-governmental organization under Rwanda law.
