We extend our sincere appreciation to all the phenomenal women who joined us for the 9th Annual #WHRDsConference26. Your participation enriched the discussions on economic justice and the need to expand opportunities for women to achieve economic independence.

Special appreciation to our Keynote Speaker, Dr @KigoziMaggie , and our Guest of Honour, @Dr_KatjaK , for their insightful contributions. We also thank our panel speakers for sharing their expertise and perspectives, which enriched the discussions and challenged us to think more deeply about advancing women’s economic rights.

“Corruption is not gender neutral. When public resources are misused, women often bear the greatest cost through reduced access to healthcare, education, business opportunities & justice,” said @Dr_KatjaK Head of Austrian Embassy during the 9th Annual Women's HRDs Conference.

What would it take for more women to earn fairly, own land and grow businesses that build lasting wealth?

Defenders Protection Initiative (DPI) joined more than 400 delegates at the 9th Annual Women Human Rights Defenders Conference, hosted by Phenomenal Women Global in partnership with the Human Rights Centre Uganda.

Under the theme “From Survival to Wealth Generation: Advancing Economic Justice for Women,” participants discussed the changes needed to close pay gaps, strengthen women’s land rights and help women-led businesses grow.

At DPI, we see economic security as part of holistic protection. When women human rights defenders can sustain their livelihoods and access the resources they need, they are better positioned to continue their work and make decisions on their own terms.

Thank you to @pwomenuganda and the @HRCUG for bringing us together for this conversation.

🤝Together, we can achieve even more in advancing women’s rights and promoting gender equality.

Thank you, @UNODC_EA, for your continued support towards this conference and your commitment to promoting accountability, transparency and the protection of Women Human Rights Defenders.

Such support remains vital in strengthening efforts to promote and protect the rights of all women in #Uganda.
