Last week, UWONET held a five-day Regional Exchange and Learning Circle facilitated by Partners for Research and Innovation (PRI), a Bujumbura-based consultancy. Discussions highlighted the need to strengthen institutional capacity, build internal cohesion, and develop a feminist charter. Participants also called for co-created funding approaches, physical and digital safety training, and a solidarity protocol to support organisations and partners. These reflections will help strengthen regional collaboration and shape collective advocacy. #FeministLeadership #RegionalSolidarity #WomensRights #UWONET

We are excited to be part of this collective commitment to advancing gender equality, access to justice, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and ending gender-based violence! Together, let us turn commitments into action, strengthen survivor-centred services, and ensure every woman and girl can access justice, exercise her rights, and live free from violence and discrimination. #SAFERProject #GenderEquality #EndGBV #SRHR

UWONET joined stakeholders at a dialogue organised by @UCC_Official and @BritishCouncil to discuss ways of bridging digital skills gaps and expanding opportunities for women, young people, and persons with disabilities. Delegates from Kenya shared experiences on digital inclusion and AI in skills development, highlighting opportunities to advance AI literacy, digital skills, and online employability. Women and girls must not be left behind in the digital transition. #DigitalInclusion #GenderEquality #UWONET

Access to justice is essential to protecting rights and promoting equality. The SAFER Project will strengthen justice, health, and local community structures, uphold accountability, improve access to justice, reduce case backlogs and explore alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Through the ministry of justice, the government has committed to supporting the project’s objectives, including improved access to justice, accountability and sustainable collaboration. #SAFERproject #AccessToJustice #EndGBV

Yesterday, UWONET joined @PlanUganda for the launch of the State of the World’s Girls 2026 report, titled "Change Her Forecast", which explores how the climate crisis can heighten risks such as sexual violence, child marriage, and unintended pregnancy, limiting girls’ opportunities and futures. The launch highlighted the importance of protecting girls’ rights, addressing the gendered impacts of the climate crisis, and ensuring that girls have the support and opportunities they need to shape their own futures. #GirlsRights #DayOfTheGirl #GenderEquality #ClimateJustice #UWONET

On Tuesday, UWONET convened an orientation for the #SAYPlus+ project team, bringing together project staff and representatives from partner organisations: Kayum Women Against AIDS, Ateker Women Alliance Forum, Ssubi Women’s Development Center, and Action for Women in Awakening in Rural Environment Uganda. The orientation focused on the project’s goals, objectives, and implementation framework, aligning partners around a shared approach to strengthening adolescent and youth empowerment in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) across the Karamoja and Bukedi sub-regions. With funding from @UNFPAUganda, @Sweden, and together with our partners, we are working collaboratively to empower adolescents and young people to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and rights. #SAYPlus #SRHR #YouthEmpowerment #Partnerships #UWONET

Day 1 | Feminist Leadership Training UWONET, with support from @medicamondiale , has convened women’s rights representatives from across the Great Lakes Region in Kampala to strengthen feminist leadership, regional solidarity and collective action.

As Uganda celebrates 64 years of independence, we honour all women and the women’s movement whose contributions to the struggle for independence and nation-building remain an integral part of our history 🇺🇬. Today, UWONET celebrates all women (rural and urban) who continue to influence governance, participate in civic engagement, champion the rights, and complement government efforts towards national development. We call on all stakeholders to advance, protect and uphold the rights of girls and women, ensuring they freely participate in shaping Uganda’s future. #UgandaAt64 #WomensMovement #GEWE
