Fairness. Inclusion. Shared creativity.

It’s time to move from conversation to commitment. The Gender Charter calls for workplaces where every gender can imagine, create and lead with fair access, equal pay, inclusive leadership, safe workplaces and creative freedom.

Five commitments. One shared vision. A more inclusive creative sector.

One thing we loved about the conversation?
It wasn’t just about the challenges it was about turning research into real action and creating a creative sector where young women can enter, thrive and lead.

The conversation continues. The time for action is now.

Happy Wednesday!!

The care economy is sustained not only by policies and investments, but also by the everyday commitment of childcare providers.
Many continue to meet children’s needs despite financial constraints, often using their own resources to bridge funding gaps.

Their experiences remind us that strengthening childcare systems means investing in the people who make care possible.

Huge thanks to everyone who made the Behind the Scenes Uganda dissemination event a success!

Your voices, creativity and commitment are driving the conversation on gender equity in Uganda’s creative sector.

The research is out. Now, let’s turn insights into action!

Friday mood: CREATIVE. BOLD. EQUAL.

Uganda’s creative sector is booming.
But here’s the question: who gets to thrive?

With women making up 55.8% of the workforce and young people aged 18–35 making up 48.7%, the sector is vibrant, youthful and female-driven.

Yet harassment, unequal pay, unsafe spaces and limited leadership opportunities still stand in the way.

At ICRW’s Behind the Scenes dissemination event, we didn’t just talk about the challenges we turned research into conversation, creativity and a call to action.

Music. Dance. Crochet. Spoken word. Powerful voices.

Because creativity flourishes when people are safe, valued and given room to lead.

The research is here. Now, let’s turn it into action.

Hon: Rachael Magoola:

A lot of what happens in the creative industry is influenced by cultural mentality, where women are still expected to belong in the kitchen. Women need to stand up tall and believe in themselves.
One of the biggest challenges we have in the creative industry is infrastructure. There should be family-friendly spaces in creative workplaces where mothers can bring their babies and have a safe place for them while they work.

Creative women are also mothers, and having a child should not be seen as a disruption or a reason to stop their careers. We should create spaces that support women to work and care for their children at the same time.

Creativity is Uganda’s powerhouse.

With young people aged 18–35 making up 48.7% of Uganda’s creative workforce, the sector is young, vibrant and largely female-driven.

And the impact goes far beyond Uganda: globally, the creative economy contributes 3.1% of GDP and supports 6.2% of employment around 50 million jobs.

The question is: Are we creating an industry where young women can thrive, lead and earn?
