The Rwanda genocide was genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1994.

Between 6 April and 17 July 1994 500000-1000000 Rwandans were murdered in a genocide. This from a total population seven million. Those murdered were principally educated, urban dwelling and male. Murder of Tutsi women became more common at the gencide continued. By the time the genocide had ended Rwanda was 70% female.[1][2]

In Rwanda ethnicity passes down the male line. Thus a Hutu man married to a Tutsi woman would be considered to have Hutu children who would not be massacred.[3]

Researchers have noted that Hutu men married to Tutsi women were sometimes able to protect their wives. This usually happened when they knew leading figures in the death squads or, in some cases, a neighbour knew them and was willing to intervene.[4]

It is well documented that large numbers of women were active participants in the genocide, in which they killed men, woman and children.[5] Many commentators claim this was unusual but a review of history demonstrates that it was in fact entirely typical.

The next census in 2002 which put the country at about 55% female. This is not necessarily contradictory when we consider that many Rwandans had fled and may have returned after the genocide. We might also have seen men from neighbouring countries being attracted to Rwanda by the number of available women.

Quote

“The genocide in Rwanda is a far-reaching tragedy that has taken a particularly hard toll on women. They now comprise 70 percent of the population, since the genocide chiefly exterminated the male population.” --Aloysia Inyumba [6][7]
