Rights 4 Her Uganda is a pioneering ecofeminist organization led by women, dedicated to advancing the intersectionality of women’s rights, environmental sustainability, and climate justice in Uganda. Recognizing the critical role women play in nurturing both communities and the environment, the organization works to amplify women’s voices in addressing pressing societal and ecological challenges. By integrating feminist principles with environmental advocacy, Rights 4 Her Uganda champions holistic approaches that empower women while safeguarding natural resources for current and future generations.
Central to the organization’s mission is the understanding that women and girls often bear the brunt of climate change impacts in Uganda, particularly in rural areas where they are key stewards of natural resources. Rights 4 Her Uganda addresses these inequities through grassroots initiatives that promote environmental education, sustainable livelihoods, and gender equity. By involving women in climate adaptation strategies, the organization ensures their unique perspectives and traditional knowledge contribute to sustainable solutions. These efforts not only protect biodiversity but also enhance the socio-economic resilience of women and their communities.
In its pursuit of justice, Rights 4 Her Uganda also engages in advocacy to influence policy at local, national, and international levels. Through partnerships with civil society, government agencies, and global environmental networks, the organization seeks to create a platform where ecofeminist principles shape climate policies and frameworks. This ensures that Uganda’s environmental future is inclusive, equitable, and sustainable, while placing women at the forefront of climate action.
