Flower farm workers in Uganda just like in Kenya have not received any social protection measures despite the workers earning as low as $45. #Covid19 has led to a massive drop in flower exports leading to a ripple effect of issues. More info: https://t.co/FvQ4UH500s

And in Tanzania, @TawlaTZ has been pushing the ‘Girls Not Brides Agenda; has had several campaigns focussing on better representation of women in land allocation decisions, including meetings of village councils & assemblies.The team is led by @tiketiko -also a panelist today.

@kcharlotte19- the COVID 19 response guidelines only urged employers to keep people at work, no guidelines on how it should be done. Workers forced to work through public holidays and weekends without overtime pay

@FIDA_Uganda @SeatiniU @hivosroea
Instead of forcing workers to take unpaid leave, we could adopt the work rotation model so that all workers equally benefit that's being used in Kenya.

The category of people receiving food relief should be expanded to include factory and plantation workers.

Join @SeatiniU @FIDA_Uganda @cefroht as we reflect on strategies to mitigate business related labor rights violations in investment firms affected by the #COVIDー19 crisis. If gov'ts don't step up their role & protect workers, violations are bound to escalate #LabourRightsMatter

Employers should provide protective gears to their workers in line with the Occupational health and safety Act. #WomenatWorkCampaign @hivosroea @FIDA_Uganda @SeatiniU

[Hivos East Africa @hivosroea]

But all is not gloom. As #COVID19 continues to spread, some farms are adopting measures to accommodate the rapidly changing times.
Some companies have introduced night shifts, providing masks and some have retained workers on a rotational basis #WomenAtWorkCampaign

@JacquelineMuka3 @NamuliBlazevic @lnamuli Well to a certain extent yes but the agreed position now is that every Advocate with instructions touching the fundamental base of human rights has a right of appearance and therefore where applicants are more than 30, they should be accommodated. #HaveYourSay @cepil_uganda

Casual Labourers should be protected by the law. #WomenAtWorkCampaign @hivosroea

[Law Abiding Citizen @itsJabu]

Flower pickers often don't have contracts and work as casual laborers so it is easy to fire them when demand is low. Both Ethiopia and Kenya lack robust social protection systems, which means that if workers lose their job, they have nothing to fall back on. #WomenAtWorkCampaign

[Victoria @VictoriaMufumba]

Casual Labourers also need to be protected under the law.

Much as the Presidential Directive was issued in good faith, it is ambiguous and did not take into consideration the constitutional aspects of the right to a lawyer of choice, Article 23 (3).

Great initiative @PoliceUg.

[Uganda Police Force @PoliceUg]

Due to the increasing number of Gender based violence cases reported, we have established a toll free line 0800199195, at the Police National Command Centre to handle these cases.

[UN Women Uganda @unwomenuganda]

The @GovUganda should maintain access to sexual and reproductive health and rights information and services, protect health workers and limit the spread of #Covid19 in Uganda.

RDC remanded on Friday. Presented for bail on Saturday. Other suspects on remand can't even be brought before court. One wishes this ''justice'' was available for everyone.

[Victoria @VictoriaMufumba]

I appreciate the government's efforts in combating COVID-19. However, it needs to be more alive and responsive to the sexual and reproductive health needs of women. @FIDA_Uganda #COVID19 #fullwoman
