As the 12th Parliament begins, thereโ€™s a strong public call to MPs to address pressing matters as citizens expect improved access to essential services. If you had just one minute to address your newly sworn in MP, what would be that one call you would make? #Accountability

Have we considered the power digital innovation๐Ÿ’ป could have towards access to SRH information & services? Despite different interventions to curb unwanted pregnancies,repositioning family planning & post-abortion care & treatment should be prioritized. #SRHRForAll @UNFPAUganda

Gender equality begins at home, in school, and in our hearts. Itโ€™s about equal rights, opportunities, and responsibilities for both boys and girls. From cooking to collecting water. When we treat them the same, we create #FutureFit citizens and help #Uganda thrive. #EndGBV

Low resilience among refugee households is linked to limited access to physical productive assets resulting into high levels of food insecurity. Refugees should be included in medium-to-long-term strategies of socio-economic district devโ€™t plans. #Inclusivity @UNFPAUganda

A woman cannot fully enjoy her rights if sheโ€™s harassed at work, denied safe conditions, punished for motherhood, denied time or space to breastfeed, trapped in exploitative labour or unable to report violence because the company claims it will affect business. Implementation of this amendment should create a-bit of pressure on all responsible actors especially employers to review internal policies and workplace systems. #GenderEquality #WorkplaceDignityAndRights
The President has assented to the Employment (Amendment) Act,2025! An effective safety strategy for women workers Because many of them experience labour injustice through sexual harassment, unequal pay,lack of maternity & breastfeeding support & lack of safe reporting patterns.
