Hon Dr. Miria Matembe is the current matriarch of the women’s movement in Uganda. She is the moral authority and guiding force behind women’s rights activism. She, together with other women leaders, helped shape, legitimize, and institutionalize the women’s movement at a critical historical moment of the making of the 1995 Constitution.
Her voice carries weight because of her integrity, courage, and consistency in standing for women’s rights. She has inspired, mentored, and opened space for younger women leaders, activists, and policymakers.
We acknowledge her willingness to confront patriarchy, state power, and cultural resistance, often at personal and political cost. She represents the bridge between early struggles for women’s political inclusion and today’s gender equality discourse.
Matembe today is the matriarch of the women’s movement because of her historical role, enduring influence, and symbolic motherhood over a movement that transformed women’s participation in public and political life. #FreeMiriaMatembe
I stand with @miriamatembe a national icon. She has led with courage, integrity and compassion.
Miria will not bow to intimidation and brutality.she she will not be silenced. Her abductor will achieve nothing except condemnation from every corner of the world.
I’m worried about her security and demand Miria’s immediate release.
Everyone needs to feel free and safe in a country they call home. Solidarity and strength to you my friend and senior sister Hon. @miriamatembe.

My sister @miriamatembe I stand with you. Praying for your safety.
A leader with integrity and compassion, you have spoken out against abuse of power, human rights violations and the oppression of women. A scared son of @KagutaMuseveni wants to intimidate and silence you. We will stand with you as you stand up to him.
