Women, youth and marginalized groups

Women, children, the elderly and the disabled are some of the marginalized groups in Uganda's society today. While much has been done since the NRM government came into power-there are provisions for women representatives in parliament, and more children have access to education-there is still a lot of ground to cover regarding their rights and livelihoods.
Women in Uganda face many challenges-among them domestic violence, and lack of economic and social empowerment. Children still suffer from abuse at the hands of their guardians, and being made to work instead of going to school. The elderly do not have assistance to help them survive when they are no longer able to work.

These and other issues are tackled in these polls.
