Too many survivors remain silent, not because they lack the courage to speak, but because fear, stigma, discrimination, and weak support systems make it unsafe to do so.

Every survivor deserves to be heard, protected, and supported without judgment. Together, we can build communities where speaking out leads to justice, not more harm.

Let's create a society where every voice counts.

As we commemorate #CandlelightMemorialDay, we have partnered with advocates, leaders, and community voices to share messages of truth, justice, hope, and encouragement.

No one should have to choose between protecting their health and protecting themselves from discrimination. Yet for many people, fear of being judged, exposed, or treated differently still stands in the way of accessing HIV services.

When stigma exists in homes, health facilities, workplaces, and communities, it pushes people further from the care and support they need. Building a healthier society means creating systems that are safe, confidential, respectful, and free from discrimination for everyone.

Tororo City — The Uganda Network on Law, Ethics and HIV/AIDS (UGANET) has officially concluded the implementation of the SASA! Together project on the elimination of violence against women (EVAW) in Tororo City, marking the end of a seven-year intervention that began in 2019.

This morning, UGANET joined thousands of Ugandans at the Kabaka’s Birthday Run, a powerful initiative championing the fight against HIV.

Our participation goes beyond presence, it reflects our continued commitment to advancing access to justice, dignity, and equitable health services for people living with and affected by HIV.

The Kabaka’s Birthday Run is more than a symbolic event. It is a call to action. It reminds us that ending HIV is not only a public health goal, but also a human rights imperative. Stigma, discrimination, and legal barriers continue to limit access to prevention, treatment, and care, and these are issues that require sustained advocacy and collective responsibility.

At UGANET, we believe that achieving an HIV-free generation demands more than medical interventions. It requires protecting rights, strengthening legal frameworks, and ensuring that no one is left behind.

Together, through platforms like the Kabaka’s Birthday Run, we amplify awareness, inspire action, and move closer to a future free from HIV.

Kyegegwa — The UGANET Kyegegwa team conducted a three day training at Grace Mission Church in Daimunda Village, Hapuuyo Subcounty, to equip community members with skills in the Gender Action Learning System (GALS) methodology.

The training aimed to strengthen joint household planning and decision making, ensuring that all family members, especially women, have a voice in shaping their futures. Participants were guided to identify challenges in shared agricultural decisions, develop practical solutions and commit to actions that improve household wellbeing and productivity.

The sessions also focused on helping participants recognize and challenge social norms that limit joint decision making in climate change adaptation, climate smart agriculture, and environmental and natural resource management.

The initiative seeks to promote more equitable and effective family and community level action, contributing to gender justice and sustainable livelihoods in the Kyegegwa district.

Criminalisation of marginalized communities does not reduce harm, it pushes people into fear, silence, and vulnerability. When the law becomes a tool of exclusion, it fails its purpose.

Rights do not depend on who society approves! Every person, regardless of status, identity, health, or background, is entitled to dignity, safety, and equal treatment under the law.

Human Rights are not rewards; they are guarantees.

Skills create independence. Independence restores dignity.

Yesterday, UGANET, in partnership with Progressive Single Mothers Network, kicked off a three-day skills training at Goals of Hope in Namungona, Kampala, targeting survivors of gender-based violence from Kampala and surrounding areas.

Each day, 20 participants are taking part in hands-on practical sessions designed to strengthen economic resilience and rebuild confidence. By the end of Day 3, 60 survivors will have gained practical skills to support their livelihoods and reclaim control over their futures.

Today marks Day 2 of the training, with 20 new participants actively engaging in practical learning sessions.

Economic empowerment is not just about income. It is about safety, autonomy and the power to make choices free from violence.

The panel emphasized what many in the civil and health spaces already feel: resilience is no longer theoretical, it’s the only way to protect hard-won progress. With HIV, TB, malaria, and other burdens intersecting, we need integrated approaches that centre human rights, equity, gender justice, and the law.

Week II: Joint induction of Chief Magistrates, Magistrates Grade I continues*

The second week of the joint induction of Chief Magistrates and Magistrates Grade I Induction commenced with Court of Appeal’s Justice Musa Ssekaana’s insightful presentation on Civil Procedure and Practice in Uganda.

He noted that civil procedure is the backbone of fair and efficient dispute resolution, ensuring that cases progress systematically from initiation to judgment and enforcement.

A key takeaway from his presentation was the importance of pleadings, which, he said, sets the stage for proceedings by outlining the legal dispute. He also addressed the issue of service of court process, the trial process, and the role of judicial officers in ensuring procedural compliance.
Justice Ssekaana reminded participants that clear and enforceable judgments are critical for justice to be meaningful.
He concluded with: “An unclear order is largely unenforceable; an unenforceable order is passed in vain.”

His presentation set the tone for the rest of the day’s sessions, which will include: Justice Boniface Wamala (Judge of the High Court)’s discussions on interlocutory and final court orders, as well as the award of damages, taxation of costs, and execution of court orders, including the role of courts and court bailiffs.

Lady Justice Alexandra Nkonge Rugadya (Retired High Court Judge) will conclude the day with a session on the law, practice, and challenges in handling land matters in Magistrates’ Courts, along with a discussion on locus in quo visits.

The day’s sessions are being moderated by HW Prossy Katushabe, Registrar JTI

The study and practice of Law is already expensive. And then you burden Lawyers and Law students with more expenses to access the Laws.
You preach that ignorance of the Law is not a defense only to make it next to impossible for people to access the #Laws.
