Violence against women continues to be widespread and socially tolerated
despite the fact that it’s a human rights violation. Violence Against
women disempowers and negatively affects women’s health and productivity
sometimes resulting into death. In addition, the cost to women, their
children, families and communities is a significant obstacle to reducing
poverty, achieving gender equality and ensuring a peaceful transition
for post-conflict societies. ICTs play a major role in combating violence against women.

In Uganda, women entrepreneurs are involved in rural and urban informal
activities, dealing with their own produce or retailing from other
primary producers. Statistics show that in Uganda most women
operate business of micro and small size, 46% of micro and small
enterprises in Uganda are owned and operated by women where as 37%
are male owned. Thirteen (13%) are multi-owned and 4.5% are unknown.
Women in Uganda own enterprises that are involved in production of
beverages, textiles, services and retail trade. They do this in
addition to their reproductive roles of producing food for the family
and providing labor for agricultural production (Madanda 2009).
Considering the physical structure from which businesses are operated,
72% of women MSEs are operating from semi-permanent temporary or no
structure which makes their business insecure and quite costly in terms
of management and growth.
