Everyone knows who will win the tournament.
Reality:
Nobody knows.
Same with "I think it can't happen to me."
Use protection. Assumptions don't prevent pregnancy or STIs. ⚽❤️.

Congratulations to Hon. Alionzi Lawrence on officially starting your tenure as Mayor of Arua City.
May your leadership bring opportunities for young people, strengthen community development, and build a city where everyone can thrive.
Best wishes for a successful term ahead.

[Alionzi Lawrence (Dangote) @LAlionzi]

This morning, we had the honor of receiving the Diocesan Bishop of Madi and West Nile, the Right Reverend Charles Collins Andaku, at the Mayor’s office.

The Bishop offered prayers and provided guidance on effective leadership, emphasizing integrity, service, and dedication in public office.

His visit was a source of inspiration as we begin the week committed to serving our community with excellence.

Should a girl's education depend on whether she can afford sanitary pads?

In Uganda, nearly 1 in 3 girls miss school during menstruation, and many face barriers to education, health, and dignity simply because they cannot access safe menstrual products.

Period poverty is not just a personal challenge, it is a public issue that affects education, gender equality, health, and economic development.

Join us this evening for an important X Space conversation:

🔹 Community and youth-led solutions making a difference

[Jimbo Shanurah @jimboshanurah]

Menstrual health is about dignity, equality, education, and access.
No one should miss school, confidence, or opportunities because of a natural biological process. Menstrual dignity is a right, not a privilege. 🩸🇺🇬 #MenstrualHealthDay

[Victoria Katamba @VictoriaKatamba]

On 8th May 2026 @GirlsAct_Uganda under @ahfugandacares will mark #MenstrualHygieneDay at Soroti .S.S.

Invest in menstrual dignity. Invest in her future.
Because when girls menstruate with dignity, they learn and thrive without limits.

#EndTheStigma #MenstruationMatters

[Jimbo Shanurah @jimboshanurah]

Menstrual health is a shared responsibility. 🩸

Ending stigma and period poverty takes all of us; young people, parents, teachers, schools, institutions, communities, and leaders working together to ensure dignity, access, and support for every girl.

Technology has taken a greater space and there seems to be a lot of efficiency in case handling because of the transformation and this has made work easier.
Creating realistic justice to the victims by adopting to the system

[Christine iwa @tinah_iwa]

It was very insightful conversation that will probably shape Ugandas' policy document that will strengthen handling of TF-GBV both online and offline.
