With support from the Royal Danish Embassy of Uganda, UMWA is yet again advancing the “Media for Gender Equality and Social Justice-leaving No One Behind” project. This is to address the poor portrayal of women in politics and women at large by the media. This challenge continues to undermine efforts towards growing and sustaining a people centred and inclusive democracy in Uganda.

He added that subject to human rights, media is assessed as fundamental and hinge to fulfillment of other rights for all persons, as a knowledge and advocate ground.
