Women urged to embrace government programmes Council Chairperson Ann Ruyondo Lumumba said the initiative would help ensure that women at the grassroots benefit from government interventions. She encouraged women leaders to mobilise communities and support efforts aimed at improving household incomes and strengthening women's economic independence. The dialogue also provided an opportunity for participants to discuss challenges affecting women and young people, including menstrual hygiene management, access to government programmes, and economic empowerment. @newvisionwire @RebeccaKadagaUG @EmilyAkullu @Turya_osborn

At the Cross-generational dialogue organised by the @womencouncilUG , the Rt. Hon. @RebeccaKadagaUG , one of the strongest women of my generation, gave good Counsel to the Women and and Youth, she even addressed one of the issues that came up at the dialogue (Menstrual hygiene) instantly. She donated sanitary towels making machine to the women leaders of Jinja to reduce the burden. She also visited a womenโ€™s Group that has since mentored others towards development, a group that she earlier introduced to DANIDA , they built their own estates and took care of themselves and Orphans at the peak of poverty and HIV/AIDS Pandemic, one of the topics of discussion. Thank you Mama for honoring us. We also Thank Professor @jwbalunywa for accepting to come for our Occassion and for teaching us.

Thank you Lt. @allan_yesero for coordinating the event and for loving your community, Jinja and National Leadership of the womenโ€™s council. I learned the need for this kind of dialogue from my experience with the Uganda Youth Forum @UgandaYouthFor1 , Maama @JanetMuseveni always emphasized it, and Mzee @KagutaMuseveni continuously cheered us, just passing it on. Thank you Maama for mentoring us, we love you so very very much. The National Council is committed to the cause of unifying, mobilizing and steering the cause of bringing up generations.

Yesterday, I had the honor of joining the people of Lango to celebrate the 2nd Coronation Anniversary of His Highness Won Nyaci Me Lango. The vibrant celebration was a powerful testament to the enduring strength of our cultural heritage, identity, and shared values. Our traditions remain the very bedrock of our unity, social cohesion, and collective responsibility. As we honor our heritage, let us continue to embrace our diversity, reinforce the bonds that bind us, and safeguard our cultural institutions as strong pillars for generations to come.A united Lango is a stronger Lango.

Women are strong Beings, they need assurance, love and a little boost for them to rise. They make Lemonade out of lemon ๐Ÿ‹ everyday, sing hymns of praises even in difficult times because they know theyโ€™re over comers. Hon. @HonAkamuli Minister for Gender & Cultural Affairs shared a wonderfully courteous moment with the women leaders of Kyenjojo district . She assured them of continuous support, and among many counsels encouraged them to engage in sustainable economic activities like farming, key among them-poultry. Urged them to guard against Gender Based Violence, which is a key barrier to development. The Minister asked them to actively engage in profitable trade and mobilize women to benefit from government programs like UWEP, Emyooga, PDM etc. The @womencouncilUG coordinated a basic paralegal information session facilitated by the Chief Magistrate, Child & family care unit of the @PoliceUg and the Probation Officer of Kyenjojo district. @KagutaMuseveni @Tumukunde_ , @Mglsd_UG @womencouncilUG @NationalSIGUg #Mutual_Love_and_respect #Commitment๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™

They knew this child was capable of anything, but because he had his own talent, he came to do it. Don't judge someone based on what you see behind their back.

Thank you, everyone needs help at some pointโ€ฆ. Very silent disease.
Yesterday, I joined my fellow Members of Parliament, mental health experts, and key stakeholders at the 1st African Regional Summit on Suicide Prevention 2026.ย Under the theme "From Silence to Action: Advancing Suicide Prevention Across Africa," we gathered to address one of the most critical yet under-discussed public health challenges facing our continent today.ย  Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health starts with leadership. As policymakers and leaders, we must move beyond awareness toward actionable policy, stronger healthcare infrastructure, community-based support systems, and legislative frameworks that protect and uplift our most vulnerable.ย  I encouraged all stakeholders, from government bodies and civil society to religious and community leaders, to work collaboratively to destigmatize mental health and prioritize suicide prevention across all sectors.
