States need to increase investments to deliver at scale comprehensive sexuality education in and out of school. It will not only reduce misinformation but also help adolescents to make informed decisions about engaging in sex and using contraception. #RHNKConference2022

An evening of legacy and liberation: @Winnie_Byanyima presented the 2025 Ahaki Impact Award to Hon. Lady Justice Prof. Lillian Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza. A distinguished scholar and judicial leader, her work has reshaped how law is taught, interpreted, and applied, always asking who the law serves and how it can do better. The ceremony was not just a tribute to her achievements, but a recognition of her lasting impact on justice, scholarship, leadership, and the future of reproductive justice in Africa. #LitigationBaraza2025

Dr. @olaro_charles: We should stop thinking that medicine is the solution to everything. Sometimes, the answer might simply be 30 minutes of physical activity, getting out of your chair and taking a walk.

According to the National Coordinator for the #GenerationGender Project, Mr. Seth @Niimwesiga, Child Protection revolves around 4 cardinal rights. These include;
▪️Child Survival (including reduction of Neonatal and Infant Mortality, and nutrition, immunisation adolescent health and wellbeing)
▪️Child Development - which includes early care and inclusive education
▪️Child Protection - which includes family care, protection from violence, abuse and protection and last but not least;
▪️Participation which includes the right to express their views, wishes and feelings in all matters affecting them (Art.12 UNCRC).

He also commended the district for this milestone of setting up the District Child Protection and Wellbeing Committee, noting that it will serve as a sustainability strategy for the Generation Gender Project, whose primary objective is to strive toward building a gender-just and violence-free society with and for young people in all their diversity.
