Running under the theme ‘Scaling up Investment to Accelerate Access to Justice for all Women and Girls in Uganda’. International Women’s Day is more than a celebration; it is a movement. It reminds the world that achieving gender equality requires collective responsibility.
In her address as the Guest of Honor, the Vice President emphasized that justice for women is unavoidably linked to economic independence. She urged both public and private sector leaders to move beyond persuasive speaking and implement tangible financial and structural changes.
As the 2026 celebrations concluded, the Vice President issued a direct challenge on members of parliament and judges to “accelerate access to justice” by ensuring that the legal system is responsive to the specific needs of women and girls.
