Dear esteemed reader,
UMWA is thrilled to welcome you to the third edition of the Other Voice (TOV) E-paper that continues to shade light on gender issues affecting women, PWDs, Children and Youth in Uganda.
In this edition, coverage is particular on challenges faced by women with disability in accessing reproductive health services as many are discriminated and stigmatized across socio-economic levels, the silent trade of children into marriages for money by parents, the journey of raising children with special needs like Dyslexia, women in technology, and other insightful stories.
Reportage is mainly from Kampala, Acholi region and western Uganda with stronger saliency on the very marginalized voices through the stories sourced.
TOV is an analytical and in-depth news platform that aims at enhancing women visibility through increased coverage of women issues that are largely marginalized by mainstream media. It also targets inclusion of women voices in decision making processes in bid of leaving no one behind, towards gender equality and social justice.
With support from the Royal Danish Embassy, we are able to bring you an edition of this developmental and women focused e-paper every two months. We thank you for your valuable and continued readership of every edition brought forth.
Please take a deep dive into this edition’s stories!
