Women do the cooking & looking after their families & they use natural resources for their roles. Natural resources are foundation of community survival,yet too often policy consultations involve men & women are spoken about not with. Have we asked women what they want?

Watching the war in the Middle East reminds us how conflict can force families to leave their homes & start life again in unfamiliar places. In Uganda, we see this reality every day. This is why building peaceful & supportive communities in Uganda matters. @Refugees @videaug1

🎯Heavy reliance on firewood continues to put immense pressure on our forests. In Bunyoro, over 80,000 hectares of forest cover are lost annually. 🔈This is why we are scaling up sustainable biomass solutions in the Region More here: shorturl.at/Mlkc1 Cc @videaug1

True change begins when communities are heard and health services are within reach. When women and young people have the right information, they’re able to plan for their futures with confidence. #CommunitySupport

#ClimateChange is no longer distant. Floods & droughts are becoming more frequent in our communities, affecting homes, farms, & livelihoods. Urban flooding is also rising. We must act on both mitigation & adaptation. @GovUganda @min_waterUg @Climate_Alert_ @videaug1

Have we considered the power digital innovation💻 could have towards uptake & access to SRH information & services? Despite different interventions to curb unwanted pregnancies,repositioning family planning & post-abortion care & treatment should be prioritized. #SRHRForAll

This means investing not only in digital health platforms but also affordable internet services,digital literacy for girls,youth-friendly online spaces & policies that involve young people themselves in designing these solutions. @kristineblokhus @PeshPoni @Ms_Akol @PeriodTalkUG

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Have you considered how digital innovation can help us demolish gender gaps in access to healthcare? 𝐒𝐃𝐆: 3.7-Universal access to SRH services by 2030, including family planning,information & education & integration into National strategies! @UNFPAUganda

We applaud 👏@UNFPAUganda, H.E @jessica_alupo & partners for stepping forward in Uganda’s commitment to #EndFGM. For generations,AGYW in some communities have endured this pain often without protection & support. As @videaug1,we are ready to support community-led efforts.

@UNFPAUganda @jessica_alupo @kristineblokhus @dan_alemu @UNFPA_ESARO @GovUganda @RobinahNabanja_ @Mglsd_UG @UNICEFUganda @UNinUganda For too long, girls in FGM-affected communities have faced pressure, silence and harmful expectations rooted in tradition. Ending FGM means standing with communities, empowering girls and strengthening protection systems so every girl can grow up safe and dignified.

As part of #IWD2026, @UNFPAUganda joined Vice President @jessica_alupo, Government leaders & Partners to launch the National Strategy to #EndFGM in Uganda (2026–2030) renewing commitment to protect girls & accelerate progress toward ending FGM by 2030. #InternationalWomensDay

Yesterday we marked #InternationalWomensDay — celebrating the strength, resilience, & leadership of women across Uganda. Women make up 52% of our popn & play a vital role in our homes, farms, businesses, & communities. Our call to action: url-shortener.me/GBFC @videaug1

Not someday & selectively, but for ALL Women & Girls! This year’s theme,“𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐨 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧”reminds us that empowering women & girls begins with sharing opportunities,knowledge & support. Let’s advance equality for ALL Women & girls. #GenderEquality #InternationalWomensDay

This #InternationalWomensDay has come at a time when justice systems are under conflict & political tensions are weakening the rule of law. Result: Women are thereby not offered justice but rather revictimized. To all Women, 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬!

Ahead of #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the strength, courage, & leadership of women everywhere. We remain committed to supporting women & girls to speak up for their rights, protect their communities, & lead positive change. Happy IWD! @UN_Women @Mglsd_UG @videaug1

Misinformation is a wall but we’re breaking it down. In Oyam, we sat down with local women to tackle the harmful gender norms and myths that stall progress. After the dialogue, 13 women took charge of their futures by accessing Family Planning services on the spot. #EMPOWERUg
