Uganda has made substantive progress towards gender equality and equity through the promulgation of the 1995 Constitution, adoption and implementation of affirmative action that favor marginalized groups including women, development of gender responsive policies and ratification of regional and international instruments that seek to eliminate discrimination against women. Strategies have tremendously increased women’s participation and decision making in political, legal, economic and social spaces within society. Despite commendable efforts, acute gender disparities are still perceptible in Uganda’s security sector (police, army and prisons), within regions and women’s exclusion from technical roles. Such disparities affect equal access to job opportunities and credit services, property rights and equal bargaining power within society, consequently, hindering economic growth as a result of lowered levels of human capital wealth.
