The right to health is a basic human right. If universal health coverage is to be truly universal, it must encompass everyone, especially those who have the most difficulties accessing health services, such as migrants, key and vulnerable populations like sex workers, people who use drugs and People Living with HIV (PLHIV), without discrimination. To achieve UHC under the new Uganda integration health approach, the following elements need to be in place: - A strong, efficient, well-run health system that support community -led service delivery. - Prioritise the principles of equality and non-discrimination. - Availability of essential medicines and technologies. - Well-trained, motivated health workers who understand the unique needs of marginalized Populations. - Actions to address the social determinants of health. - Affordability #Healthforall

“Violence against sex workers is not a historical issue but an ongoing national emergency.” - Nakatube Debora - Slum “No harm should go unreported, sex workers need to organize themselves and report cases committed against them. We will respond.”- law enforcer. “Criminalisation isn't protection it's a death sentence that pushes violence underground & shields killers.”- Stellah, UNESO On #Dec17, we commemorated the international day to End Violence against Sex Workers. During the day, we held a press conference to condemn all forms of violence committed against Sex workers. We also held a black space to honour those lost due to violence. We say - Criminalisation of sex work in Uganda fuels killings & lets perpetrators act with impunity. We call for : 🔴Decriminalisation for safety & justice. #EndViolenceAgainstSexWorkers

OGERA members have participated in a 6 months Vocational Training Program enabling them to gain practical skills in bakery, candle making, tailoring, liquid & bar soap making among others. This was made possible through our efforts towards advancing livelihood opportunities, information and knowledge as a key strategy towards achieving our Socio-Economic Empowerment and Protection thematic area. With their newly acquired skills, our members are now ready to pursue sustainable income generating opportunities and inspire others in their communities.
