“Empowering Women through Innovative Approaches to Social Protection; a Prerequisite for Inclusive and Sustainable Development” highlights women's continued struggles in accessing social protection, #legal_identity, and essential services.
A strong Civil Registration and Vital Statistics ( #CRVS) system ensures women’s rights to inheritance, healthcare, education, and social benefits.
Birth, marriage, and death registrations are key to securing these rights, especially for women in rural areas.
For single mothers and women entrepreneurs, legal identity documents like National IDs are critical for accessing financial services like the Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Program (UWEP) and Uganda Growth Fund (GROW), which can change lives with funding up to UGX 200 million.
Yet, Uganda’s CRVS system faces challenges of underfunding and inefficiencies. To drive true empowerment, the CRVS system must improve to provide gender-disaggregated data that informs inclusive policies.
As Uganda prepares for the #2026_elections and continues to tackle issues like #gender_based_violence, let’s make this year’s theme a reality for all women and girls, harnessing digital technology and #legal_reforms for lasting change.

❤True love is forever, and so should your legal protections! An unregistered marriage can lead to property, custody & inheritance disputes. This Valentine’s, make it official. File your union. #InclusiveIdentityUG

Obtaining accurate, up-to-date records from #CRVS amplifies healthcare decisions, improves government planning, and protects citizens' rights and subsequent generations.

Together, we can build a society where persons with disabilities #PWDs have the opportunity to thrive.
Their voices must be heard and valued.
Why are we letting them down?

Love lasts forever, but a legal identity secures generations.

50.5% of Uganda’s population are children, yet most lack birth certificates. Without CRVS reform, they risk being invisible, denied school, healthcare & legal rights. Why are we failing them? #ActNow #InclusiveIdentityUG

In Uganda, young people aged 18-30 comprise 23.5% of the population, forming the second-largest demographic group.
However, without essential documents like national IDs, birth certificates, or marriage certificates, many face significant barriers to:
#education, #employment, #healthcare, and #financial_services.
This lack of access restricts opportunities, hampers growth, and puts their dreams on hold.
Let’s advocate for reform of the #CRVS system that ensures no youth is left behind.
