−	The following articles all claim that Rwanda was 60-70% female immediately after the genocide. The next census was 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.

−	The exact scale of the genocide is not known. Rwanda officially estimates the death toll at one million while Western academics claim a figure of 500,000-600,000. What is clear though is that the overwhelming majority of deaths were of men and boys.

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