Uganda Parliamentary Women Association (UWOPA) is a Parliament Caucus comprising all women members of parliament but open to male members as associates or horary members. This Association was established during the 5th parliament of Uganda (1989-1994) with the aim of engendering the legislative process, creating awareness campaigns, and encouraging lobbying and advocacy, networking, exchange programs, training, and institutional and organizational capacity building.
UWOPA provides a forum for women members of parliament to discuss, share experiences, and support activities that facilitate women’s participation and leadership in all dimensions of politics including socio-economics, science, and technology. UWOPA is a major contributor to a just and gender-sensitive constitution, legislation, and national policies that enable the political, social, and economic empowerment of women and men in Uganda.
