@uwonet @susan_achen When I see the above women together, believe me something resourceful is soon knocking long live uwonet long live @RitaAciro

At the Women’s Movement Press Conference, @uwonet joined partners in calling for gender equity, democratic accountability, and ethical leadership as the 12th Parliament of Uganda organizes its leadership structures. “We are seeking parity, equity, and development. One person’s mistake should not be used against 50% of the population,” noted Rita Aciro, ED @uwonet. Over the years, women leaders have established a standard of leadership that continues to shape expectations for future women leaders. Article 33(4) of the Constitution guarantees women equal opportunities in political, economic, and social life. The Women’s Movement stands united in advancing inclusive and accountable governance. #WomenLeadershipUG @ccgea1 @FOWODE_UGANDA @SarahBireete @patriciamunabi @RitaAciro @WDNUganda @PerryAritua @WinnieKiiza

This evening, I received a message from Dr. Patrice Motsepe, the President of the Confederation of African Football, expressing his appreciation for Uganda's role in hosting CHAN 24. This message was delivered by Rt. Hon. Anita Among. I want to thank the Local Organizing Committee, as well as the Ministry of Education and Sports, led by Maama Janet, and everyone who contributed to the successful hosting of the tournament. Additionally, I thank the supporters who came out in large numbers to watch the matches.

Yesterday, UWONET had the honor of hosting the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Uganda. Over the past four years, the Embassy’s support in Kamuli and Namutumba Districts has reached and impacted the lives of over 25,000 people. Through this partnership, we have provided legal & psychosocial support to close to 5,000 walk-in clients, offered temporary shelter to over 500 survivors of Gender Based Violence, and reached around 8,000 people through our toll-free online services. These efforts have not only safeguarded lives but also empowered women and girls, restoring their dignity and ensuring their voices are heard. We are grateful to all stakeholders, including the District Local Government, Uganda Police, Judiciary, cultural and religious leaders, and the community at large. We also deeply value our partnership with the Embassy, and look forward to continued collaboration. #WPS #GEWE

@warmheartsug @ElliotOrizaarwa @uwonet @NLinUganda @NCHRD_UG @crdefenders @NorrisLindah @unwomenuganda @ccgea1 @UHRC_UGANDA @UWOPA @Sihanet @RitaAciro We were so blessed as women leaders to be part of of this wonderful journey of #hervoice New chapter of the women's manifesto was successfully launched thanks @JulianNaluwooza for the wonderful presentation.

Today, we joined our long time allies @uwonet and its stakeholders as they launched the #women’s manifesto 2026-2030 plugged #HerVoice. Among the cross cutting issues mentioned are #WomenPeaceandSecurity and #WomenLeadership and decision making, very pertinent issues.

Below are women leader's from Northern and Eastern part of uganda We thank @uwonet, our Ed @RitaAciro and our programmes coordinator @JulianNaluwooza for making us the women we are today, Above all,we congratulate @uwonet upon the successful launch of the women's manifesto.

@FemnetProg @PlanGlobal @PlanUK @hivosroea @hivos @PlanWACA @CSA_Kenya True our bodies aren't political battle grounds, though most men have always taken advantage of our gender during campaigns, they threaten saying us saying "no sex no vote". I call upon @FemnetProg and @PlanGlobal to note this as a key issue, by training local women leaders.

As conversations deepen at #CPD58, FEMNET is standing firm: ✊🏾 Our bodies are not political battlegrounds they are our own. 🌍 We call on governments to ensure universal access to reproductive health services and bridge the gap in health disparities.

@unwomenafrica @NLinUganda Thanks so much @unwomenafrica @andNLinuganda for fighting for gender equality, we local women leaders do appreciate the tremendous work.

A call to allies from @NLinUganda Ambassador Frederieke Quispel. #GenderEquality is a call for all, by all! #ARFSD11

@uwonet @RitaAciro Thanks so much@uwonet and@RitaAciro for the love and tremendous work you have done towards we the women we are proud and overwhelmed @uwonet picked us from grass now to grace long live @RitaAciro long live @uwonet .

Our Executive Director @RitaAciro today, joined young mothers in Namutumba District as they graduated after completing vocational skills training in motor vehicle repair and mechanics—an uncommon yet powerful path for girls. In her remarks, she encouraged the girls to speak up, stay resilient, and never let anyone discourage them on their journey to economic independence. She reminded them that their background does not define their future, and urged them to draw lessons from the past, but boldly move forward. These determined young mothers are rewriting their stories—armed with skills, confidence, and a commitment to create better lives for themselves and their children. @Mglsd_UG @ASF_NGO @EUinUG #SkillingGirls #EconomicEmpowerment #YoungMothers @asf_eastafrica @NLinUganda @Dr_KatjaK @barefootlaw_org @PenalReformInt @DCAUganda @UWOPA @KigoziMaggie @PerryAritua @Parliament_Ug @FrenchEmbassyUg @flaviakalule @ElliotOrizaarwa @momocherise @AKasingye @KvinnaKvinnaINT @JulianNaluwooza @AgwangJesca @hildakevin1 @WDNUganda @ccgea1 @susan_achen @videaug1 @Kingroland95

@uwonet @BrendaAkia @CedawUn @RitaAciro @FIDA_Uganda @AdrikoLillian Real women support, advocate and empower fellow women, hence the above women are the true definition of REAL WOMEN thanks @JulianNaluwooza for being a fighter.

During the #CEDAW2024 engagement, Dr. @BrendaAkia of @CedawUn expressed heartfelt gratitude to @RitaAciro ED of @uwonet for the unwavering support towards her global leadership journey. She also acknowledged organisations like @FIDA_Uganda its members, the CEO @AdrikoLillian @elayzabeth @AAssimwe & many more women leaders for their mentorship, solidarity, and belief in her—especially during challenging moments leading up to her appointment. Such collective support, she noted, not only strengthens her work but also contributes to amplifying women’s rights advocacy across countries. #WomenInLeadership #CEDAW @asf_eastafrica @NLinUganda @Dr_KatjaK @barefootlaw_org @PenalReformInt @DCAUganda @UWOPA @RitaAciro @PerryAritua @Parliament_Ug @FrenchEmbassyUg @flaviakalule @ElliotOrizaarwa @AKasingye @momocherise @KvinnaKvinnaINT @JulianNaluwooza @AgwangJesca @hildakevin1 @WDNUganda @ccgea1 @susan_achen @videaug1 @Kingroland95

Happening now: #UWONET is hosting the Validation Meeting of Uganda’s 10th Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women(CEDAW) Alternative Report (2020–2024). Women Rights Organisations& civil society actors are reviewing findings, ensuring the report reflects inclusive data, identifies gaps, and proposes actionable recommendations. @asf_eastafrica @NLinUganda @Dr_KatjaK @barefootlaw_org @PenalReformInt @DCAUganda @UWOPA @RitaAciro @PerryAritua @Parliament_Ug @FrenchEmbassyUg @flaviakalule @ElliotOrizaarwa @AKasingye @momocherise @KvinnaKvinnaINT @JulianNaluwooza @AgwangJesca @hildakevin1 @WDNUganda @ccgea1 @susan_achen

@uwonet @RitaAciro @PoliceUg I love the targeted group that is being addressed, Thanks so much mardam @RitaAchiro for the tremendous work you have done to your fellow women, Honestly accessing @PoliceUg to report GBV cases is no longer a big deal because @uwonet has worked so hard on bridging the gap.

Today, our Executive Director @RitaAciro addressed 36 Child & Family Protection @PoliceUg Officers on why women’s rights matter and the legal framework on human rights protections in Uganda. She emphasised that Violation of a person’s rights equals an act of injustice and Respect for other people’s rights is not an act of kindness, but a responsibility and obligation #WomenRightsMatter @momocherise @bamunoba24 @AKasingye @mucunguzi_jeff @asf_eastafrica @NLinUganda @FrenchEmbassyUg @KvinnaKvinnaINT @DCAUganda @Dr_KatjaK @Mglsd_UG @Angelanakafeer2 @PerryAritua @JulianNaluwooza @WereJuliet @ElliotOrizaarwa @AgwangJesca @susan_achen @npereth123 @NorrisLindah @CEDOVIPuganda

@HopeAtim123 @JulianNaluwooza @uwonet Congratulations upon the conclusion of the program We do appreciate the tremendous work.
