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.

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.

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?

30 years after Beijing, Hon. Zziwa challenges us to go beyond progress reports. Transformation is the true measure of women’s empowerment in Uganda. @uwonet. @ElliotOrizaarwa @WEGCDA3 @EBUWACI
At the National Women Leaders’ Summit, Hon. Dr. Margaret Nantongo Zziwa opened her keynote by reminding the nation of how far Uganda has come since the Beijing Platform for Action thirty years ago. She noted that while progress has been significant, it is only meaningful if it leads to real transformation.
Uganda now boasts 44% women in senior ministerial positions, 38% of CEO roles, a growing number of female ambassadors and increasing visibility of women across Parliament, public service and local government. Girls are also outperforming boys in primary leaving examinations, and the country has strengthened gender-responsive laws that support equality.
Yet, she stressed that these achievements must be viewed as a foundation, not a finish line, because representation alone does not automatically translate into power, influence or justice.
