As part of ongoing efforts to support member organizations in the fight against alcohol-related harm, the UAPA Secretariat visited Uganda Mental Health Fellowship-Atanekontola, located at Bugembe HC IV in Jinja.

We are inspired by the organization's commitment to working with communities to prevent alcohol-related harm, including gender-based violence, and to promote healthier, safer communities.

@UNAUGANDA @PolicyUganda @BagumaRT @ntesibe @archerfrom1997 @lynderlinda @Movendi_Int @UNAFinland I was glad to be part of UAPA AGM 2026.

[UNA UGANDA @UNAUGANDA]

Leadership is about knowing when to hand over and creating space for fresh ideas and new direction.

At the 2026 AGM of @PolicyUganda , one message stood out: advancing alcohol control calls for a strong, united alliance of stakeholders committed to protecting public health. Alcohol harm cuts across nearly every Sustainable Development Goal.

We appreciate the outgoing leadership, welcome the new Executive Committee, and wish them every success. May we all remain committed to advancing alcohol control.

I’m always happy to remind us that ending #OnlineSexualViolence is everyone’s responsibility:
Ahead of the #16DaysOfActivism against gender based violence, we stood in solidarity for all women and girls hosted by @CEDOVIPuganda

This year’s global theme “UNiTE! Invest to Prevent Violence Against Women & Girls and End Digital Violence reminds us that ending GBV demands sustained investment in prevention, justice, survivor centered services and feminist organizing.

Our regional call is “Reimagining Feminist Futures: Rising in Solidarity, Thriving Out of Crisis” celebrates the power of women to resist, organize and transform communities despite economic instability, digital harms and political repression. Across Uganda and the continent, women’s movements are shaping futures rooted in care, solidarity and justice.

This is a moment for all of us from government, civil society, media and communities to rise, invest and act. Violence must end and futures must thrive. #16Days @RaisingTeensUg2 @UgandaCRNN @GNB_Uganda @BebraveUganda @BeBraveGlobal @vowforgirls @GivingTuesdayUg @WezeshaGirls @touch_uganda @T4EduC @Educ_SportsUg @Mglsd_UG @sauti116 @Camfed

We spent our morning of the 28th April 2026 at Mpererwe @ChurchofUganda_ Primary School.

Combining hands, voices and efforts with Ms. Fiona from @sauti116 and Ms. Wendy Ruth from Kawempe Division's Probation Office, we shared with learners of the Primary 7 class about gender-based violence and what they can do in their capacity to fight it!

Our team led by @archerfrom1997 elaborated on the link between alcohol and gender-based violence as well as emphasize how important it is, that every child lives a life free from violence of any kind.
