		<p>Uganda has made strides over years to increase access to education for all citizens. As of 2015, the adult literacy rate for Uganda stood at 73.8 %. Historic imbalances and cultural attitudes have long locked women and girls out of formal education. Measures like free primary education and awareness of importance of equal access to education opportunities for both girls and boys worked to improve enrolment at primary level. However the enrolment and retention of girls in school beyond primary school remains a challenge. Some reports show that only 22 out of the 100 girls aged 13 to 18 years access secondary education which leaves a wider gap even with the existence of the limited Universal Secondary Education.</p>
<p>The percentage of girls joining secondary is lower than that of boys and females without formal education double males.  To compound the kind of challenges still faced, recent figures from Uganda Bureau of Statistics show that 25 percent of adolescents age 15-19 in Uganda have begun childbearing.</p>

		<p>I read this article and realised the loss is not unique to the Congolese. Everywhere in Africa even as governments  fight second hand clothes, we are still far away from seeing policies that facilitate local industries to be competitive. From the farm to the industries, heavy reliance on imports while exporting less finished goods has many countries in debt.</p>
<p>While i do not have answers, this good feature by<a href="https://qz.com/1127450/chinas-role-in-dr-congos-textile-industry-collapse/?mc_cid=5f046d5822&amp;mc_eid=093d88aa62"> Quartz</a> documents how lives have been changed in Lubumbashi. A combination of insecurity and instability in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the mushrooming cheap Chinese cloth has left devastating impact on families and communities that once held up the Congo glory of textile production.</p>

My friend Uwitware put her thoughts here elaborately on Stella Nyanzi&#8217;s campaign for pads and the response from Minister of Education. Hours after this post went up she received threats against her and her family via Facebook and she made these threats public and also reported to police.  Yesterday April 08, Uwitware was kidnapped for hours and released around midnight. I don&#8217;t know what state she is now. Police say she is safe. Not much on the condition they found her in.  But violence that has been waged against free thought and freedom of expression in the past is well known and I still fear what could have done to her. Her employers say she is safe but what is safe after an abduction? Uwitware and others like her need us not to be silent. Silence will not save us.</p>

<p>Only one outspoken woman, Stella Nyanzi – who I am actually so proud of to this effect – dared to insert her finger in the anus of the “leopardess.” I salute you Nyanzi</p>

<p>Many, without taking in the crucial points passed judgment over Nyanzi for her response that made rounds on social media as largely vulgar, missing the point therefore.</p>

		<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Happy 2017! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">I kicked off this year well and in first two weeks I spent time with media colleagues trying to wrap our heads around early childhood development. Through various engagements with UN foundation and UNICEF, I was both fascinated by the work and research around first six years of a child’s life and also taken aback at how much work we need to do as a nation to set our children on the right path. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Key focus was on poverty and it&#8217;s impact on children in Uganda.  Although the proportion of the Ugandans living below the <a href="http://pubdocs.worldbank.org/en/381951474255092375/pdf/Uganda-Poverty-Assessment-Report-2016.pdf">national poverty line</a> declined from 31.1% in 2006 to 19.7% in 2013, according to the <a href="http://www.worldbank.org/en/country/uganda/brief/uganda-poverty-assessment-2016-fact-sheet">2016 Poverty Assessment</a>, many children still live in poverty. The proportion of the total number of poor people who live in the Northern and Eastern regions increased between 2006 and 2013, from 68% to 84%. Between 2005 and 2009, for every three Ugandans who were lifted out of poverty, two fell back. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">These are the highlights on child poverty and the uphill task Uganda faces.</span></p>
<p><strong>1: More than 50% of Uganda’s population are children. Uganda is the world’s second youngest nation after Niger.</strong></p>

<p><strong> 2: Sadly, about 55% of Uganda’s children below five and 38% between 6-17 years live in poverty.</strong></p>

<p>It started off slowly. In 2011, the United Nations endorsed that October 11 would be marked the International Day of the Girl Child. This October I saw, for the first time, my timeline fill with ordinary people writing something thoughtful about the day and what it means to them and the girls in their communities.</p>

<p>I tweeted a few reflections on why we need the this day even at a time where we see some wave of fighting back – many still ask, what about the boy? I say: we need the day of the girl because the world is still damn unequal. We need the day of the girl because you still put unnecessary hurdles in your girl child’s life which you don’t do for your boys’. This in no way means the boy child doesn’t have his own hurdles and pressures from society. It means that the girl…</p>

		<p>Last saturday, the <a href="https://web.facebook.com/maishagarden/?fref=ts">Maisha Gardens</a> under the Maisha Moto initiative hosted Dr Sylvia Tamale one of the top Ugandan academics and the first female to hold the post of Dean of Law Faculty at Makerere University. Her passion for justice and equality is well known and her work on African Sexualities confronts the narratives that try to downplay the diverse and complex sexualities on the continent and the tendency to paint conversations around gender as an import into Africa.</p>

<p>Note the title &#8216;African Feminisms&#8217; because there&#8217;s no one feminism. And to understand this is to go to the very description of feminism that Dr Tamale gave.</p>
