Dear Sister,
Warm greetings from Forum from Women in Democracy (FOWODE). As you may all recall, we agreed at the Uganda Feminist Forum in Jinja that one of the ways in which we could contribute to the revitalization of the women’s movement was through the holding of regular dialogues “Ekimeeza” to discuss issues that are critical to women. It was agreed that these dialogues would provide an opportunity to enhance the knowledge base of women on a range of issues and were a potentially powerful medium of mobilizing support for women’s issues.
