A girl with rights is a girl with possibilities.

Every girl deserves more than promises. She deserves access to quality healthcare, education, safety, dignity and the freedom to shape her own future.

On this International Day of the Girl Child, the Centre for Women’s Justice (CWJU) calls on families, communities, institutions and policymakers to protect girls’ rights, challenge harmful gender norms and ensure that no girl is left behind.

Girls are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are rights holders and changemakers today. Their voices must be heard, their choices respected and their futures protected.

💜 Her rights. Her voice. Her future.

48 SCHOOL DAYS. That’s nearly 10 weeks of learning.

Ugandan girls have been reported to miss up to 48 school days in an academic year because of menstrual hygiene challenges.

Every girl deserves to learn, participate and dream without her period standing in the way.

🩸 Menstrual health is not a luxury.
It is a matter of dignity, equality, health and justice.

We believe a period should never be a barrier to education.

Menstrual justice is justice.

Holding Her Hand. Amplifying Her Voice. Strengthening Her Leadership.

Today, we held the Hold Her Hand Safe Space and Leadership Forum, creating a supportive and confidential space for adolescent girls and young women to share experiences, connect with one another, and strengthen their voices.

The forum provided an opportunity to build solidarity, nurture confidence, and develop leadership and advocacy skills around Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and reproductive justice.

We believe that when girls and young women have safe spaces to speak, access information, and develop their leadership, they are better positioned to advocate for their rights, make informed decisions, and shape the issues affecting their lives.

Every girl deserves dignity, a voice, and the opportunity to lead.

Strengthening partnerships for gender justice and women’s rights.

Today, our Executive Director, Immaculate Owomugisha , is participating in a strategic engagement between the Domestic Violence Act (DVA) Coalition and the Uganda Women Parliamentary Association (UWOPA) Executive.
As a member of the DVA Coalition, we join fellow stakeholders in reviewing the status of gender-responsive bills and aligning strategic priorities for the 12th Parliament.

These engagements are important in strengthening collaboration between civil society and parliamentary leadership to advance gender equality, protect women’s rights, and promote justice and accountability.

JUSTICE. DIGNITY. DUE PROCESS.

The Centre for Women Justice Uganda (CWJU) extends its condolences to the family of musician Moses Matovu following his tragic death.

We also raise concern over the continued detention of Ms. Rose Tumusiime without a court appearance and call for respect for due process and the protection of her fundamental rights.

We call for:
⚖️ Fair and evidence-based investigations.
🤝 Accountability in accordance with the law.
🛡️ Protection of women’s rights, dignity and safety.
📢 Access to legal counsel and family support.

Justice must be pursued lawfully, fairly and without compromising human dignity.

Gender justice means upholding human rights for everyone.

SEPTEMBER 28 | INTERNATIONAL SAFE ABORTION DAY

Solidarity in Action: Advance Reproductive Justice and Strengthen Access to Comprehensive Abortion Care.

In Uganda, access to abortion care remains highly restricted by law, while women and girls continue to face unintended pregnancies and the risks associated with unsafe abortions.

At the Centre for Women’s Justice Uganda (CWJU), we believe reproductive justice requires more than words. It calls for accessible health services, accurate information, dignity, and respect for the rights of women and girls.

This , we call for collective action to:

💜 Advance reproductive justice.
💛 Strengthen health systems.
💜 Expand access to comprehensive abortion care.
💛 Uphold the dignity, health and rights of women and girls.

Together, let us turn solidarity into action and reproductive justice into practice.

Listening is where meaningful advocacy begins.

Today, Centre for Women Justice Uganda convened a Community Sit Down with persons with disabilities to create a safe and inclusive space for dialogue around Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).

The session provided an opportunity for participants to learn more about their SRHR, ask questions, share experiences and reflect on the barriers that can affect access to information and services.

As we commemorate , the conversation reinforced the importance of informed choice, equal access and the right of every person to make decisions about their own body and health.

At CWJU, we believe advocacy is strongest when it is grounded in the realities of the communities we serve.

We listen. We learn. We advocate for change grounded in lived realities.

A school where every girl can learn with dignity starts with collective action.

Today, Centre for Women Justice Uganda (CWJU) held the inception meeting for “Dignity for Girls in Every School” at KCCA Primary School Kamwokya

The project will scale up emergency menstrual pad dispensers while strengthening menstrual health education, peer support, community engagement and advocacy for menstrual justice.

Today’s engagement brought school leadership and stakeholders into the conversation to:

Understand the emergency pad dispenser intervention
Build institutional ownership and commitment
Identify school-level focal teams and peer champions
Strengthen support for girls to remain in school during menstruation
Create a foundation for wider menstrual health advocacy

Menstrual health is a gender, health and justice issue.

No girl should have to miss school because her period arrived and she did not have access to the support she needed.

Dignity belongs in every school.

LISTENING TO COMMUNITIES. INFORMING ADVOCACY. ADVANCING JUSTICE.

At CWJU, meaningful advocacy begins with listening.

Our Community Sit Down series creates intentional spaces for communities to share their lived realities, experiences and the barriers they encounter in accessing their rights.

Today, in partnership with Tunaweza foundation Foundation, we are engaging persons with disabilities as part of our commemoration of National Contraception Day 2026, under the theme:

“Upholding SRHR of Persons with Disabilities through Informed Choice and Equal Access.”

The conversation is an opportunity to listen to community perspectives on sexual and reproductive health and rights, understand the realities behind access barriers, and strengthen advocacy that responds to what communities are experiencing.

To us community voices are not an afterthought to advocacy they are central to it.

Because advancing Gender, Health and Justice requires us to listen, understand and act.
