Femme Forte Uganda

Masculinity, as we’ve come to know it, is rooted in dominance: over women, over other men, over emotion. It rewards control, punishes vulnerability, and sustains systems of inequality. In a new episode of our podcast: Hall of Femme, @irunguhoughton, the Executive Director of…

She leads. She builds. She inspires. And we get to witness it every day. Our Chief Steward, @latagal, has been named one of Postdator’s 500 Women Who Move Nations — a powerful recognition of her fierce, feminist leadership and unwavering commitment to building radical,…

The panel discussion on “Power, Gatekeeping, and Feminist Representation” is happening now! This conversation dives deep into how power operates within feminist spaces: who controls access, who decides which voices are amplified, and how gatekeeping can both protect and limit…

In conclusion, Prof. @Josephineahiki1 reminds us that the path is to be made by walking. Moving forward requires collective action: scenario building, continuous power mapping, archiving women’s histories, and forming lasting alliances across divides. We must rethink funding,…

Penelope’s work is grounded in a bold vision of freedom where everyone is valued, protected, and empowered to make choices about their bodies and lives without fear of punishment or criminalisation. At the Reproductive Justice #LitigationBaraza2025, she brings a powerful…

We joined @FemmeForteUg's first edition of The Kimeeza on navigating the politics of inclusion, under the theme: “Reimagining Inclusion, Power, and the Future of Organising.” This space offered deep reflections on what it means to build feminist futures rooted in community, care,…

It's been a honor, Truly! Thank you so much for having me souvenir this very critical but very important discussion!

We invited artist, @kwiz_era, not simply to create a painting, but to immortalize the dialogue. To listen with intention, to hold space with care, and to translate the pulse of a feminist gathering into visual form. This work is a living, layered story, crafted in real time…

In the panel’s parting reflections, we are reminded: just as there are good and bad politicians, good and bad lawyers, the same is true within feminism. We must stop disowning the term feminist because of perceived “bad feminists.” The movement is bigger than individuals.…

Molly Wambi of Kawempe Women Vendors Cooperative Society speaks powerfully on language justice. She highlights a critical barrier: laws, bills, and policies are made in English, a language many women in the informal sector don’t speak fluently. “How can we claim inclusion when…

And finally, Macklean Kyomya challenges us to ask: What are we doing for the women being left behind? As a representative of over the 337,000 sex workers under @awacuganda, she calls for deep, grounded solidarity, not just rhetoric, but action that reaches the margins. She…

Dr. Daphine Agaba reflected on the price we pay for inclusion to happen, a cost that is often borne unevenly across generations and identities. She questioned how inclusion is negotiated within feminist movements: who has to shrink, suffer, or stay silent for others to enter?…

“I’ve come to understand that inclusion is not a soft ideal: it is a radical demand. Too often, we tokenize the word and strip it of its political weight. Language is power: it can open doors or close them. Terms like “marginalized” can unintentionally reproduce the very…

In a world where inclusion is often contested and conditional, how can we, individually and collectively, navigate the politics of inclusion to create spaces that truly honor diversity, equity, and justice without compromise? Join the conversation: YouTube:…

In grappling with backlash, both global and local, Prof. @Josephineahiki1 urged us to distinguish between what has worked and what works. What has worked reflects compromises made within specific constraints; what works, however, speaks to the movement’s long-term vision of…
