Join Caroline Kwamboka N., Trustee and Director of African Renaissance (AR) Trust, leads a powerful Capacity Building Session on Gender, Equality, Youth, and Social Inclusion (GEYSI) mainstreaming in WASH! 💙🌍
Because every facility built and every budget passed declares who belongs in Africa's future — and who doesn't.
Caroline will be equipping us with practical tools to:
✅ Diagnose exclusion in WASH systems
✅ Reform policy with a gender & inclusion lens
✅ Enforce accountability at every level

Africa cannot achieve Agenda 2063 while millions remain invisible. It's time to change that. 🙌

This session is for YOU — whether you're a policymaker, engineer, CSO leader, or advocate. No one sits on the sidelines! 🗣️💪

Students from Iganga Secondary School deliver the children’s statement on menstrual health and hygiene, envisioning a world where girls can fully participate in everyday life with dignity and confidence.

They highlight affordability and quality of menstrual products as major challenges, noting that many families cannot afford safe products, forcing some girls to use unsafe methods that increase health risks, infections, stigma, and school absenteeism. Poor transport and limited access to sanitary products were also raised as barriers.

The students call for stronger government support through provision of menstrual supplies, clean water, private changing spaces in schools, reduced taxes on menstrual products, and increased budgeting for menstrual health and hygiene.

They also challenge harmful stereotypes and cultural beliefs that label menstruating girls as dirty or ready for marriage, noting that these taboos continue to limit open discussions and isolate girls.

The statement calls on government, NGOs, and communities to strengthen existing systems, educate communities, and ensure that every girl in Uganda can manage menstruation safely, confidently, and with dignity.

[Irise Institute East Africa @IriseEastAfrica]

Menstrual health does not exist in isolation.” @KateNamyalo draws attention to the intersections between menstrual health, sexual and reproductive health, maternal health, and environmental wellbeing and why coordinated responses are essential in closing accountability gaps.

She emphasized that lack of menstrual health information, sanitation, water, and supplies continues to affect dignity, education, health-seeking behavior, and self-esteem, especially in rural communities where stigma and silence remain strong. She further highlighted the importance of stronger policies, infrastructure, community health promotion, and the integration of menstrual health into adolescent and sexual reproductive health programs.

Do men and women lead differently?
Evidence suggests the answer is more nuanced than stereotypes imply.
