%X this article analyses the ruanda¡äs conflict, from the beginning until the genocide in 1994 and post-genocide period, inquiring about women¡¯s experiences and practices in this armed conflict context. the article aims to describe the main causes of the ethnicization of the political power and of the state control¡¯s struggle between hutu and tutsi elites. this has led to a conflict that seems never end and that has already caused thousands of deaths as well as refugees and displaced people. thereby, this article aims to identify specific women¡¯s issues, either in the process of ethnic identities formation, either in the ruanda¡¯s armed conflict, either in the limited interpretations social sciences make about women in armed conflicts.
