In many countries, including Uganda, women’s awareness and participation in various aspects of life are significantly lower than men’s, as they are often considered the “weaker sex.”
Ugandan women face discrimination, limited access to education, low economic status, and numerous challenges such as domestic violence, rape, and harmful cultural practices like female genital mutilation.
Efforts to improve women’s societal position and financial independence aim to combat gender discrimination and promote empowerment. Regional prevalence rates of these issues highlight the urgent need for effective interventions to address and mitigate gender inequality.
