A national study conducted by CEHURD, with @MakerereIGDS and the @Makerere University School of Law, explores how masculinities influence the realization of sexual and reproductive health and rights in Uganda.

Today, 4 February, we come together once again to mark #WorldCancerDay. We embrace the #UnitedByUnique campaign and its people-centred approach, placing individuals, families, and communities at the heart of cancer care that respects diverse needs and lived experiences.
Cancer remains a significant health challenge in Uganda, with an estimated 36,000 new cases and nearly 25,000 deaths recorded each year - a burden that strains families, communities, and health systems.
In Uganda, breast, cervical, prostate, lung, colorectal, and liver cancers continue to devastate lives, bringing physical pain, emotional distress, economic strain, and social isolation for patients and their loved ones.
Join us in advocating for early screening, equitable access to care, and rights-based policies.
Government must invest in people-centred cancer care. Health systems must prioritise prevention and early diagnosis. Communities must speak up, challenge stigma, hold duty bearers accountable, and support those affected.

The road to justice isn’t always smooth, but it’s always worth the journey. 💪🏿⚖️

Justice at the Margins: UGANET in Lamwo
Last week, UGANET successfully concluded a five day joint detention monitoring visit across Lamwo District and Palabek Refugee Settlement. The visit aimed to assess conditions in detention facilities, engage with prison administrators, and listen directly to the needs of inmates, especially those facing prolonged remand without trial.
A major concern raised was the delayed access to justice, particularly in capital cases, due to infrequent High Court sessions. This has led to an overwhelming number of remand inmates. Additionally, juveniles continue to miss court appearances because of transport challenges. The visit also highlighted the urgent need for sustained legal awareness among inmates.
The exercise offered a powerful opportunity for learning, dialogue, and collaboration with key stakeholders. As UGANET, we remain committed to ensuring that even the most marginalized individuals, including those behind bars, are not forgotten in the pursuit of justice. #UGANET4SocialJustice
Under the Uganda Refugee Resilience Initiative (URRI), @URRI_Danida, UGANET is committed to ensuring access to justice and gender equality for both refugees and host communities. Through strategic partnerships, we will:
