#TheProtectionOfSovereigntyBill, risks undermining Uganda’s tourism sector.

Its broad provisions label key tourism players as “agents of foreigners,” impose burdensome registration, restrict vital funding, and weaken global marketing.

🦍Tourism is one of Uganda's biggest foreign exchange earners.
👩‍💼The sector also employs over 800,000 people including community members.
🛑The #SovereigntyBill threatens earnings from the sector & employment of hundreds of thousands of Ugandans!
🙅‍♂️Say no to the Sovereignty Bill!

I welcome the release of 8 #EACOP youth activists in #Uganda after their conviction on 17 April. I call on the Gov to desist from any further retaliatory action against them. Climate change is a human rights crisis. Those calling for mitigation it are #HRDs @geneva_uganda

💸The Sovereignty Bill could negatively impact smallholder farmers and Uganda's 🇺🇬 agricultural earnings.
☕️Coffee, cocoa, tea, maize etc are often exported & the exporters fall under the category of 'foreign agents', per the bill.

#TheProtectionOfSovereigntyBill
Will hurt the small holder farmers & communities. As an organisation that deals with small holder farmers & communties we join other voices in the country to reject this bad law that will affect small farmers incomes & livelihoods.

Uganda is set to pass a foreign agents bill, whose sweeping provisions could be used to imprison journalists for up to 20 years, limit foreign media funding to about $100,000, and subject newsrooms to intrusive state oversight.

Eight youth activists sentenced to 11 months in prison over 'Stop EACOP' protests.

We condemn this sentencing for it is intended to silence Environmental & Human rights defenders in Uganda & protects those who are simply looking for profits over people. https://t.co/DNlVlyMeDM

Expanding civic space for human rights defenders requires safety, legal awareness, and inclusion.

In trainings conducted in the Albertine region, HRDs highlighted that wellness, legal literacy, and empowerment remain key to enabling safe civic engagement.
