Women of Courage Network (WOCONET)
Women and girls make up more than half the Uganda’s population. Yet far too often, their voices, experiences, and contributions are overlooked or undervalued.
They are underrepresented in the halls of political and economic power and overrepresented in poverty, while barriers from gender based violence and lack of political and economic opportunities, to laws that hold women to a different standard block the path to progress.

The untapped potential of women remains a lost opportunity for economic growth and development. The inclusion of women in peace and security, and conflict prevention and resolution is essential to ensure gains reach all members of society.
