Caritas Mategeko Karadereye was a Burundian politician and activist. Alongside Euphrasie Kandeke, who was named Minister for Women's Questions, [1] she became one of the first women to serve in the Burundian cabinet when she was appointed Minister of Social Affairs by Jean-Baptiste Bagaza in 1982. [2] At the time, she was the vice-secretary general of the Union of Burundian Women. [3] She remained in the cabinet until 1987. [4] During her career, she also spent time as a local representative for the Director General of UNESCO. [5] Mategeko was a Tutsi; [6] her sister, a student, was among those slain during the Burundian genocide of 1972. [7] Karadereye also wrote on the subject of women and Burundian society, publishing a paper on the subject in 1969. [8]

It appears that she remained as a member of the government until at least 1992; [6] as of 1997 she was a member of the conseil des sages tasked with investigating the genocide of 1993. [9]
