Centre for Women Justice Uganda Fighting for Women's Rights and Equality

05/08/2026

From Brazil at AIDS 2026 to Harare, Zimbabwe, one message continues to resonate across the Global South: no one should face injustice while accessing reproductive healthcare.

As we participate in Day 2 of the Reproductive Justice Litigation Baraza, we join important conversations on South-to-South Exchange: Sovereignty, Decoloniality, and the Reclamation of African Legal Identity.

The discussions challenge the colonial origins of age-of-consent laws while drawing from African human rights frameworks such as the Maputo Protocol and the Banjul Charter to reimagine legal systems that uphold dignity, bodily autonomy, and equitable access to healthcare.

At the Centre for Women Justice Uganda, we believe that gender justice, health justice, and legal justice are inseparable. Building people-centred legal systems means ensuring that every person can access sexual and reproductive health services free from discrimination, stigma, or injustice.

Together, we continue shaping African-led solutions that protect rights, promote equity, and leave no one behind.

At CWJU, we believe meaningful change begins when learning is transformed into action.

Our participation in the Reproductive Justice Baraza in Harare, Zimbabwe, is more than attending an event it’s about strengthening the conversations that shape policies, influence justice, and protect sexual and reproductive health and rights across Africa.

The knowledge, partnerships, and experiences gained will directly inform our work in Kampala’s informal settlements, where we continue working alongside communities to advance justice, equality, and access to essential SRHR services.

Because every conversation has the power to inspire action, and every community deserves to be heard.

We are honored to join reproductive justice advocates, judges, legislators, academics, civil society leaders, and partners from across Africa and beyond at the 4th Annual Reproductive Justice Litigation Baraza 2026 in Harare, Zimbabwe.

This year’s discussions focus on “Age as a Determinant for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights,” providing a platform to examine how law, policy, and strategic litigation can address age-related barriers to accessing quality, equitable, and rights-based sexual and reproductive health services.

We look forward to meaningful dialogue, shared learning, and strengthening partnerships that advance reproductive justice for all.

Day 3

🌍 CWJU is at in Rio de Janeiro!

Today, Jovia Mirembe from the Centre for Women Justice Uganda (CWJU) is leading a critical panel discussion on the intersectionality of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and HIV.

This conversation is deeply important because HIV does not exist in isolation. Women and girls who experience violence, stigma, discrimination, and limited access to SRHR services are often at greater risk of HIV infection and face greater barriers to treatment, care, and justice.

The International AIDS Conference 2026 calls for people-centered, rights-based responses that address the social and structural drivers of the epidemic. By bringing together SRHR, GBV, and HIV, CWJU is highlighting that ending AIDS requires more than medicine, it requires bodily autonomy, freedom from violence, access to justice, and equal access to health services.

This is at the heart of CWJU’s Reproductive Justice agenda: ensuring that every woman and girl can make informed decisions about her body, live free from violence, and access comprehensive healthcare without fear, stigma, or discrimination.

From Uganda to the global stage, CWJU is amplifying the voices and realities of women and girls whose experiences must shape the future of the HIV response.

No meaningful HIV response without gender justice. No reproductive justice without bodily autonomy.

Health justice begins with legal justice.

Today at , our Executive Director spoke during the Women Know What Works session, highlighting the urgent need to end the criminalization that continues to affect people living with HIV and fuels violence and discrimination against women and girls.

Her message was clear: ending HIV requires more than medical interventions—it requires removing legal and structural barriers that prevent people from accessing healthcare, protection, and justice.

She also called for increased investment in advocacy and access to justice, recognizing that empowered communities and informed women are central to building equitable and resilient health systems.

Together, we must champion policies that protect rights, promote dignity, and ensure that no one is left behind.
