Oxfam in Uganda has positioned the Gender Justice and Women’s Rights theme as the new pillar to address gender inequality. The theme seeks to promote gender equality and transformation. 

It recognises the persistence of gender inequality as a significant barrier to human development with negative consequences for the individual capabilities and freedoms largely of women and girls. It is purposeful in addressing these challenges through effective participation of women in leadership, and decision-making; enhanced interventions for the elimination of Gender-based Violence and realisation of SRHR; and, strengthened interventions for economic justice for the marginalised.

The theme specifically collaborates with Women’s Rights Organisations (WRO) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) for the realisation of Gender Equality and Women’s empowerment. 

Under this programme, Oxfam worked with organisations including Uganda Women’s Network (UWONET) and Uganda Women Parliamentary Association (UWOPA).
