We leave empowered with sharper advocacy skills, collective strategies, and renewed commitment to advance Uganda’s national agenda to end child marriage and secure brighter futures for girls. – at Kampala, Uganda
We have successfully concluded the training on Ending Child Marriage in Uganda.
The past days have been filled with learning, reflection and meaningful conversations on child marriage trends, legal frameworks, advocacy approaches and the role of different actors in strengthening protection systems for girls.
The training reminded us that ending child marriage requires collective commitment, informed action and strong community-led solutions.
We are leaving with renewed knowledge, stronger networks and a shared responsibility to continue advocating for a future where every girl is protected, empowered and able to reach her full potential.

.@katabaazi25: If we don't arrest the vulnerabilities at the earliest time possible, we cannot talk about sovereignty. When it comes to Social Protection, @Parliament_Ug has four major roles; legislative, appropriation, oversight & representation. We have to ensure that #SocialProtection reflects in the core roles of Parliament. Additionally, we need a comprehensive approach to #SocialProtection. We need to design a comprehensive national framework. The financing and implementation can be gradual, but we need to be sure of where we are going. #CSP2026AndBeyond
Exploring new frontiers in Child & Social Protection Financing FY2026/27 and Beyond. @CSBAGUGANDA @EBUWACI @ElliotOrizaarwa

Financing remains the biggest challenge to Pre-Primary Education in Uganda.
The Education (Pre-Primary, Primary and Post Primary) Act (Cap 247) leaves this level largely to parents, locking many children out of early learning.
Legal reform is necessary to strengthen the right to education and ensure equal access for all - @anabwowe notes. #RightToEducation

When communities rise in unity, violence loses its ground. Every hand joined is a step toward homes filled with respect, peace, and hope.
Preventing Domestic Violence requires collective efforts and sustained collaboration. The Coalition therefore pledges to continue working closely with government institutions, community leaders and development partners to prevent Domestic Violence.

Today, the Domestic Violence Act Coalition delivers its statement in commemoration of International Women’s Day 2026. As we honour the women and girls of Uganda in all their diversity, we also call for bold and sustained investment to advance gender equality, protect women’s rights, and ensure that commitments translate into meaningful action. #IWD2026 #GiveToGain
COGE and DVAC will collaborate to protect girls from climate‑driven harms across Uganda and beyond. We will document girls’ experiences, strengthen protection and referral systems, keep girls in school, and push for climate‑sensitive GBV policies. Girls’ voices lead.
Where water flows, equality grows. The water crisis is a women's and girls' crisis. They must be at the heart of every solution, from pipe to policy. #WorldWaterDay #GenderEquality #WaterJustice @ElliotOrizaarwa @UNGeneva @Water @africawaterlife @EBUWACI
Water for equality means TIME — hours back for women and girls to study, work, rest, and thrive.
Safe water close to home saves precious hours.
What does water for equality mean to you?
