Retired Sex Workers Recruit More Teenage Girls into Prostitution on Islands. Kalangala district is struggling with the growing aggressiveness by commercial sex agents who are recruiting more teenage girls into prostitution. The agents operate on the different landing sites in Kalangala, where they act as main links between commercial sex workers and their prospective clients, who include local fishermen and revelers in bars and other entertainment spots operating in the area. Tadeo Luwukya, the L.C.1 Chairperson for Misonzi landing site in Bufumira sub county, confirms that they have witnessing an unprecedented rise the numbers of teenage girls, as young as fourteen getting engaged in the commercial sex work. He explains that the majority of the victims are from the other parts of country, who are brought to Kalangala as attendants in the various entertainment places such as bars, lodges, beaches among others, where brokers recruit sex them. The brokers, according to Luwukya, are retired commercial sex workers who were pushed out of the trade by either age or diseases, and have now resorted to enrolling teenagers as sources of their continued survival. |#TruthOnTime |#Uganda 🗞️Ezekiel Ssekweyama 📍Kalangala ⬇️Details ugandaradionetwork.net/story/retired-…

The Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) is hosting 30 cultural leaders from the Acholi region (@kerkwaroacholi) on a familiarization visit to Uganda’s oil and gas operational areas to gain first-hand insight into the country’s petroleum developments and progress towards first oil. The delegation is touring key sites including Pump Station 1 in Nyamasoga under the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (@EACOP_), Kabalega Industrial Park, Kabalega International Airport in Hoima, and the Kingfisher Development Area, where they are observing rig operations at Pad 2, progress at the Central Processing Facility (CPF), and ongoing EPC4 construction works. The engagement highlights the important role cultural institutions play in community mobilisation, information sharing, and strengthening collaboration between the oil and gas sector and the communities it serves

Our Inter-faith Women's Network was well represented at the national celebrations of the International Women's Day at Kololo Independence Grounds. The celebrations were presided over by the Vice President of Uganda.

Religions for Peace International, to which @irc_uganda is affiliated, is concerned about the ongoing war in the Middle East between the USA and Iran, and calls for cessation of hostilities.

PRESS REVIEW: The Bunyoro Kitara Diocesan secretary and general secretary of @irc_uganda in Bunyoro, Rev. Can. Francis Mugisa, has called on Christians to exhibit humility and repentance as the fast during the ongoing lent period. We hosted him at the Diocesan offices in Duhaga.

WATCH: Religious leaders in Kamuli have urged Christians and Muslims to use the Lenten and Ramadan seasons for reflection, reconciliation, and spiritual renewal, noting that both fasting periods begin on the same day this year. Kamuli Catholic Parish Priest Fr. Ben Wakabi called on Christians to repent, correct their mistakes, and strengthen their faith and commitment to humanity. Kamuli District Khadhi Ismail Kazibwe urged Muslims to promote peace, unity, and compassion, and asked political leaders to set aside differences and work for national development. #MonitorUpdates 📹: Sam Caleb Opio

@turyeimuka @PSSEKABIR @UHRC_UGANDA @Europarl_EN And you the brave one, what have you done?! If you knew even an inch of the work religious leaders do, you would perhaps know what they go through.

@PSSEKABIR @irc_uganda @UHRC_UGANDA @Europarl_EN This regime is heartless and shameless. Religious leaders these days are cowards and the institutions they lead ate nothing but commercial enterprises.

It has now been one month since the wife of NUP’s Barbie Kyagulanyi was placed under illegal house arrest. She is denied access to food from outside, and anyone who dares to visit is either blocked or arrested. It is shocking and unacceptable that the cowardly regime, along with so-called human rights institutions and religious leaders, continue to pretend all is well while people’s rights are being flagrantly violated. #FreeUgandaNow

As we honour and reflect on the legacy of Archbishop Janani Luwum let's keep advocating justice for all.

‘I am prepared to die in the army of Jesus.’ On this day, we honour a servant leader whose final words still call us to action as @itmsug to serve people with integrity, accountability, and purpose.
