NAWOU discusses ways of encouraging more young women to participate in political governance
News - News / Events

Culture does not grow old hence the need to encourage young women to take up leadership. The question is, as ‘older’ women retire who will take up leadership?

NAWOU in collaboration with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation carried out a research in two districts; Kiboga and Luweero to study young women’s participation in governance issues. This research was carried out because apparently there is a small number of young women aged 18 – 35 years participating in political governance. The numbers of those participating are not proportional to their population.

The women’s movement joins hands to advocate for ratification of African Protocol on Women’s Rights
News - News / Events

The protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa commonly referred to as the African protocol on women’s rights or the Maputo protocol was premised on the international and regional human rights framework and was adopted by the African Union (AU) in 2003. The protocol is different from CEDAW because it was drafted by African women and seeks to address issues that are specific to African women. Uganda is one of the countries that signed but has not yet ratified the protocol.

Advocacy for the ratification of the protocol has been spearheaded by Akina Mama wa Afrika which is part of a continental coalition - Solidarity for African Women’s Rights (SOAWR). AMwA has partnered with a national taskforce made up of women/rights based organisations that has been lobbying and doing advocacy work for the ratification of the Protocol in Uganda. They include UWONET FOWODE, NAWOU, ACORD, UMWA, ICON, ECCA, CEDOVIP, FIDA, WORUDET, ACFODE, WOUGNET, UWOPA, MoGLSD, Raising Voices, Department of Women and Gender Studies among others.
