Unicameral Transitional National Assembly of Rwanda was established in 1994 following Rwandan Civil War.

[2] The government has reserved 24 out of the 80 seats in the Chamber of Deputies for women.

The 24 seats allocated to women are divided up between each province and the city of Kigali, where they are elected by an assembly made up of various councils and committees members.

[3] More women were granted seats due to the effects of the Rwandan Genocide on the population.

After the Genocide against the Tutsi, the population was made up of more women than men, and this was reflected in the makeup of Parliament.
