This Handbook has been developed by Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) with support from Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) for a woman, working in the informal economy within an urban centre in Uganda. The handbook aims to equip such a woman, who is aware of the injustices that affect her life but who has limited access to information that would allow her to properly understand the causes of those injustices and to actively oppose them, and to educate her peers to do the same.
