🎥 A recap of our Environmental Human Rights Defenders Training, strengthening community capacity, shaping evidence-based advocacy, and positioning women and marginalized groups at the center of Uganda’s climate justice agenda. This work continues to show why sustained investment in climate-responsive justice systems is essential.

@deuce_mercy This is disgusting, she isnot comfortable, and yet he continues to violate her body. Even more disgusting is a media house to allow for airing of such forms of acts. It's very disturbing.

In order to address barriers that affect the equality and inclusion of women and girls with disabilities in Uganda, we all need to have a better understanding of their lives and experiences.

As #COP26 ends, we and other climate justice activists have a message for @AlokSharma_RDG and world governments:
#ClimateAction means rejecting #BigPolluter schemes like carbon markets, paying up for #LossAndDamage, and advancing real solutions like making #PollutersPay!

[Deborah Okia @Brendadeborah24]

@jkkarungi Funds being given to the vulnerable was not a well thought out move. Zero consultations were made but rather instructions given to generate lists to persons who are living within communities having almost the entire community being vulnerable.its just a mess.#Covid19ResponseUg

Please don't forget to join us on this tweetchat tomorrow 10-12pmEAT. Does the Government's response to the 2nd wave exhibit better preparedness, and learnings from the 1st wave? Let's collectively think and build a pro poor,gender responsive COVID-19 Plan. #Covid19ResponseUg

[FIDA Uganda @FIDA_Uganda]

"What we are seeing today is a public that continues to be responsive to the restrictions and SOPs. However it is also a public keenly aware of the economic cost and the social burden of COVID19 and is thus more critical of govt response" - @Opiaiya

[FIDA Uganda @FIDA_Uganda]

In about an hour.We'll be good to go.Join in using #Covid19ResponseUg and let's collectively build a pro - poor, gender responsive COVID-19 !We shall begin with an evaluation of what we learnt from the 1st wave: how have these lessons been applied by the Gov't in this 2nd wave?

[FIDA Uganda @FIDA_Uganda]

The response by gov't is majorly motivated by the prospects of acquiring loans & not finding a lasting solution to this problem.The first lockdown was enough for gov't to strike a plan & chat out a solution to this.But they locked us down and slept.- @RicOkello #Covid19ResponseUg

We are saying that the disbanding of UWEP & merging it with other programmes as proposed by the @mofpedU will derail all strides made in improving women's access to interest-free credit!

This is a call to the Speaker @RebeccaKadagaUG & all MPs to #OpposeTheMerger & #SaveUWEP

[FIDA Uganda @FIDA_Uganda]

The program like many others before, it is intended to lift Ugandans out of subsistence economy to the money economy. What is different with this is that new Parish Chiefs will be hired to manage the Fund. #OpposeTheMerger #SaveUWEP

Day care facilities or nurseries at work spaces are really vital,however you find that most lack care givers so they are still not giving the effective results as the mothers still lose concentration as they have to keep checking up on the toddlers.#BreastFeedingAtWorkUg

[Kemigisha @elayzabeth]

Workplace-related barriers 2 breastfeeding vary by occupation.Women in formal workplaces have greater success in breastfeeding at work than women in occupations like horticulture https://t.co/fTkS81Gytu the amendment to the Employment Act addressing this ?
