Which issues do you think should be the main focus for women in Uganda in 2015?
Back ground
While addressing the
press on 22nd July 2014 in Kampala, women activists under Forum for
Women in Democracy (FOWODE) said they will front women candidates for
leadership positions in the 2016 general elections to make sure that
issues which concern them like women rights are recognized as
national development issues.
The Executive
Director of FOWODE, Ms Patricia Munabi, said it was necessary to
ensure that women’s issues are at the center of conversations in
all political parties.
Although the constitution
of Uganda (1995) ensures women representation at all leadership
levels, politics in Uganda continues to be dominated by men. Only 42
per cent of women are in public service posts compared to 58 percent
of men. Poor families prefer to educate boys than girls.
Women
also face challenges like discrimination, low social status and
little or no income, and a greater risk of HIV/AIDS infection
according to Foundation for Sustainable Development.
Which
issues do you think should be the main focus for women in Uganda in
2015?
A. Health services
B.
Access to education
C. Sustainable income
D. Women
representation in leadership
