Human Rights Development

Uganda is highly patriarchal with customs and traditions that often violet human rights. The political and economic environment further compromise the rights in Uganda. Some of the human rights issues in Uganda are: Respect for the integrity of the Person, Respect for civil liberties, Corruption and Lack of Transparency in Government, Discrimination, Societal Abuses, and Trafficking in Persons, Child labor, HIV and AIDs social stigma, Indigenous minorities, Persons with Disabilities, Early and Forced Marriage, Gender Based violence, list is long. The sector provides the participants with the opportunity to work with Human Rights professionals and specialists in communities and with people who need rights empowerment support with affordable community based interventions
