Minister of Gender and Family Promotion³ Solina Nyirahabimana agrees that in 25 years of breaking gender stereotypes⁴ by telling women what they can do, "men have been left behind" in the conversation. She says her ministry⁵ has a more ambitious plan: It intends to prevent discrimination from being seeded, starting with instilling⁶ gender-equality principles in children.

性别和家庭关系促进委员会的部长索琳娜·尼拉哈比玛纳认为，在持续25年的打破性别固有认知的过程中，我们一直在告知女性她们可以做什么，但在这场对话中男性却落后了。她说她的部门有更远大的计划：就是从根源上防止性别歧视，从给孩子们灌输性别平等的思想开始。
