Many young Ugandans hear the term human rights but few fully understand what those rights mean in everyday life.
This gap in civic knowledge leaves them feeling powerless and disconnected from systems meant to protect them.
The Civic Classroom is a weekly civic education series designed to break down complex ideas about human rights, governance & citizenship into simple, relatable conversations.

My main audience is young people in Uganda, many of whom spend a significant amount of time on TikTok.
By bringing civic education to the platforms young people already use, the goal is to make information about rights more accessible and engaging.

An informed generation is better equipped to speak up, participate and peacefully challenge repression and authoritarianism.

How people who have committed no crime are being carried away and treated like terrorists in their own country baffles me. Meanwhile, foreigners are being awarded ministerial positions.

One of the most troubling questions is when someone asks why Africa remains poor despite possessing some of the world’s largest mineral resources. While there are many factors behind this reality, African dictators have played a significant role in keeping our countries trapped in poverty.

Corruption, embezzlement, nepotism, and prolonged stays in power have contributed greatly to our current situation. Faced with these challenges, the young generation of Africa has an unavoidable duty to challenge corrupt dictatorships, dismantle oppressive systems, and build a continent that serves Africans while restoring Africa’s hope, dignity, and glory.

As we labor to remove the senile dictator and his corrupt system in Uganda, our Nigerian brothers and sisters are confronting many of the same challenges. Aging rulers who cling to power show no attachment to the future of their nations. Instead, they spend their final years enriching their families and securing privileges for their children, while neglecting the needs of their countries.

We must therefore rise to the occasion and work toward establishing nations that serve the interests of ordinary citizens and future generations.

I joined a panel discussion this morning on youth perspectives in healthcare, hosted by the @rhnkorg I carried with me the lived realities of young women who have lost their lives or suffered chronic complications as a result of the criminalisation of post-abortion care read in a news article and lived experiences.
What we often describe as “self-care” in abstract policy language is, in reality embedded in the everyday practices of young people accessing contraception, taking a blood pressure test, obtaining condoms, or simply getting basic medication for a headache or fever. Yet these ordinary health actions are increasingly framed within large policy documents and memoranda of understanding that risk disconnecting them from lived experience.
I find myself asking: in a digitalised era, would a young person in Bududa, during a landslide or other climate-related emergency, be able to access this information or reach a health facility with ease? Would they be able to consult a health professional when they need it most?
This raises an important reflection on the need for a truly multisectoral approach, it is not enough for health information to exist on a Ministry of Health website… it must also be accessible through affordable internet, reliable digital infrastructure, and resilient systems that function even in times of crisis. Climate resilience is therefore not an “add-on” to self-care interventions it is central to ensuring equitable access for all young people.
Legislating morality and relying on conservative policy approaches will not reduce teenage pregnancy or maternal mortality. Instead, it risks holding us back from learning from the past and building systems that genuinely serve present and future realities.

Culture and religion will always be influencing factors, but the primary obligation must remain clear to ensuring affordable, accessible, and informed healthcare services for all supporting autonomy and resilience.
