International organizations which played an important role in the welfare of women is the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, or UN Women. The organization works through several strategic targets, one of which is to free women from all forms of violence. Rwandan women still experience violence from their intimate partners, with prevalence that reaches up to 56 percent, and this figure is considerably high when compared to the average prevalence in Sub-Saharan Africa of 44 percent. Considering the issues, a research problem is drawn, "how does UN Women act as an independent actor in tackling the violence against women in Rwanda?". This paper aims to describe the roles and functions that UN Women partake in tackling violence against women (VAW) in Rwanda using the concept of role and function of international organization. UN Women is involved in efforts to tackle VAW through its activities under the 2013-2018 United Nations Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP I), which supports the realization the SDGs. Using qualitative methods and secondary data in the analysis, the author found that UN Women can act as an independent actor that supports the realization of SDG 5 through three functions. Firstly, the socialization function is shown through MenEngage and HeforShe, which changed Rwandans perspective on VAW. Secondly, the operations function is shown through technical and operational aids of Isange One Stop Center and Safe Mini-Market. Thirdly, the articulation and aggregation function is shown through the integration of VAW management in UNDAP I.
