Bukooli Health Initiative and Women’s Rights

On this special day, BHIWR proudly celebrates and honors all mothers for their strength, love, sacrifice, and endless dedication to their families and communities. Wishing you a joyful, peaceful, and love filled Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day! 💐❤️

BHIWR successfully held a 2-day training on Self & Collective Care, facilitated by Madam Hazel from @mindful_uganda. The training created a safe space for learning, reflection, and strengthening wellbeing among participants. We appreciate the support from the FemPeaceEA Project.

Behind screens, womxn are navigating violations that are often minimized or misunderstood, screenshots shared without consent, coercion masked as “normal” interactions. This #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth, we choose care, in how we speak and in what we share. #EndTFGBV #SAAM

On Thursday’s World Autism Awareness Day, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of autistic people to communities worldwide. “Like anyone else, autistic people should be able to shape their own lives and help to shape our shared future” — @antonioguterres un.org/en/observances…

Not all harm online looks loud or obvious. Sometimes it’s the joke that crosses a line, the screenshot shared without consent, or the comment section that turns into a pile-on. These moments may seem small, but they shape how safe or unsafe someone feels online. #EndTFGBV

“Justice for women & girls must be a cornerstone of the world we seek to build.” – @antonioguterres tells #CSW70 that he will continue fighting for dignity & equality #ForAllWomenAndGirls. un.org/sg/en/content/…

We celebrated #IWD2026 using Cultural expression as on ground advocacy, We did not just drum for celebrations but for justice, We drum for women voices so that those voices can be amplified, reclaim public spaces and promote collective joy as Women. #FemPeaceEA Project

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor the women before us who rejected silence and dared to dream out loud. Their courage paved the way. Our voices carry the fight forward.

Smart glasses or wearable tech can be used to secretly record and share womxn’s conversations or images, that content is often shared to embarrass, intimidate, or gain control. #EndTFGBV #IWD26

On #InternationalSexWorkerRightsDay: @WHO & @AmnestyIntl are clear criminalizing sex work doesn’t reduce harm. It denies women access to healthcare, legal protection & safety. Human rights don’t have exceptions. Decriminalize. Protect. Include. ❖ #AmplifyRuralCommunities

As we mark Womxn’s Month, we are launching our online campaign under the theme “Rights, Justice, Action for All Womxn and Girls” to confront the realities of Tech-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence in our daily lives. Join us and be apart of the conversations to #EndTFGBV. #IWD26

Together we can build a safer Community through engagements and Cleanliness. With support from the @FemPeaceEA project

Through the match, BHIWR emphasized feminist self-care rights and shared information on GBV support services during our community sensitization. Together, we continue to raise awareness and strengthen support systems in our community. Supported by @FemPeaceEA Project.

The engagement aimed to create a safe and interactive space where market women make short dialogues on why self care is important, We also conducted a market clean up to demonstrate our solidarity ( by sweeping and mopping)

As part of the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV, We held a community engagement at Namayingo Central Market, raising awareness on feminist self-care as a strategy to prevent GBV-related stress and exhaustion among grassroots women market vendors and the surrounding community.
