The shortage of condoms has caused concern with the Uganda Network of AIDS Service Organisations (UNASO) appealing to government to address it.
Persons living with HIV/AIDS raised the issue while appearing before the Committee on HIV/AIDS, saying that this is affecting the fight against the disease.
They also raised concerns over the size of condoms being distributed, saying they have received complaints that many are too small, a factor they believe is discouraging proper use and contributing to the continued spread of HIV. #CommitteesUg
Ugandan migrant workers are living in distress as a result of labour externalisation pressures.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Vincent Bagiire who appeared before the Committee on Foreign Affairs chaired by Hon. Grace Kwiyucwiny, said that labour externalisation has driven up consular distress cases, repatriation and welfare demands especially in the Gulf region.
He called for a collaborative inter-ministerial effort to intensify sensitisation campaigns to curb human trafficking. #CommitteesUg
