CEHURD and @RHUganda with support from @OxfaminUganda are conducting meetings with Education Officials on effective mechanisms to providing comprehensive #SRHR in West Nile Region.
At CEHURD we believe that engaging different district stakeholders in advancing access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) among young people in schools is highly important because it promotes a coordinated, supportive, and sustainable approach to addressing the health and wellbeing needs of adolescents and young people.
Schools are key environments for shaping knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among young people thus the involvement of district stakeholders strengthens the effectiveness and reach of SRHR interventions. This multi-stakeholder approach ensures that SRHR interventions are effective, inclusive, culturally sensitive, and sustainable.

Just in⏰: #OrientationSession on #SRHR by @cehurduganda This is a community level capacity strengthening opportunity because everyone is vulnerable. The inequalities, poor service delivery, discrimination and stigmatization that happen are majorly at the community level.
Nurses remain the backbone of healthcare systems worldwide, serving on the frontlines of hospitals, emergency rooms, clinics, and humanitarian crises.
The work of Nurses strengthens families, supports communities and keeps Health Systems moving forward.
As healthcare systems continue to face staffing shortages and rising pressure globally, #InternationalNursesDay serves as both a tribute to the profession and a reminder of its critical role in saving lives every day.
Today we celebrate all the nurses in the world for their courage, compassion, professionalism and innovation towards improving access to health care.
UGANDAN CITIZENS FROM BUGANDA REGION PRESENTING MEMORUNDUM CONTAINING VIEWS ON THR PROTECTION OF SOVEREIGNTY BILL 2026 TO THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON DEFENCE AND INTERNAL AFFAIRS AND COMMITTEE ON LEGAL AND PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS
As a women-led association of women lawyers, we have carefully reviewed the Sovereignty Bill through a gender and rights-based lens. Laws shape lives, and this Bill carries significant implications for women’s rights, access to justice, and inclusive governance. ⚖️
In our analysis, we go beyond the surface to unpack the gaps, highlight potential risks, and identify opportunities to strengthen the Bill so that it serves all Ugandans equally.
Our recommendations are grounded in lived realities and legal expertise, with a clear goal: to ensure that sovereignty does not come at the cost of equality, dignity, and fundamental rights. Read more 👉🏾: https://t.co/5u7lzNwGqs
❝As I reflect on our current position, I recognize that the Universal Periodic Review (#UPR) is a unique mechanism. It allows us to do more than point out gaps; it provides a platform to share what we have done as a country and to receive recommendations from other states on how to strengthen the protection and advancement of human rights for all.
To succeed in this cycle, we must move beyond rhetoric and produce a rigorous, evidence-based report that clearly answers the critical question: what is your evidence? This requires credible, well-documented data.
I encourage you to leverage your existing connections with diplomatic missions to help shape recommendations that Uganda can take on to advance SRHR.
Once these recommendations are adopted, the task ahead will be to hold government accountable for their implementation and to track and report progress in the next cycle.
This process, in its uniqueness, offers a clear pathway for influence and accountability, one we must use effectively to advance our SRHR commitments as a country.❞

#UPR4thCycle
On Friday, Oxfam joined CSOs, political parties, finance experts & the arts industry at @Parliament_Ug to deliver a petition on the Protection of #SovereigntyBill (No. 13 of 2026) to the Joint Committee on Defence & Internal Affairs and Legal & Parliamentary Affairs.
Our Executive Director, @Hassan_shire , together with our Director of Programs and Administration, @MemoryBandera, were pleased to be part of the King's Day celebration hosted last week at the invitation of Her Excellency @FrederiekeQ.
On this special occasion marking the birthday of King Willem-Alexander, we extend our warm wishes for his continued good health and leadership, and join in celebrating the values of unity, partnership, and shared commitment to human rights that this day represents.
We appreciate the continued partnership with the Embassy and their support for human rights and the work of human rights defenders in the region.
@SolomonSerwanjj Think about sinking the private sector that has been promoted at the cost of selling all the public entities. What happens to the PPP and how stretched is the Minister that is going to be looking into more than 100,000 and more foreign investments.
