Among many issues of importance being discussed is the issue of children born out war, children born out of protracted forced displacement such as refugees, recognition of the naturalization process and the gaps therein. @deozkom @nyahagon @doxcie @jackodong @odokonyero_joel

Gender Just Access2Justice is not a contestantation between men and https://t.co/4LHC5CcWDH is rather a call for sameness for an equal application of the law for all regardless of their gender #RegionalConferenceonForcedMigration @DrChrisDolan

[Jimmy Wamimbi @jwamimbi]

A secure future of refugee mgt is a function of gendered justice without which there's no peace. With no peace, the cycle of conflicts & the influx of refugees continue. @DrChrisDolan @refugeelawproj #RegionalConferenceonForcedMigration

[Refugee Law Project @refugeelawproj]

Undeniably #SGBV sessions have reduced case backlogs, however, overly long periods of detention without trial are a violation of a right to fair trial - @PeaceRugyema shares experiences of @refugeelawproj on gendered justice

"The question of maternal health in Uganda is sad. We put mothers in what in my language we describe as a battle "Olutalo lwabakyala". We seem to use the word 'battle' everyday yet we never prepare them nor do we support them to face this battle"
