In February 2024, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD Uganda) in collaboration with Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) convened the 2nd National Youth Symposium, themed “Redefining Governance and Political Inclusivity in Uganda”. The symposium is a platform for Ugandan youth to deliberate on key themes shaping the political landscape in the country. In particular, this symposium focused on the aspirations of young people ahead of the 2026 elections, gender-based violence in politics and electoral and governance systems in Uganda. This brief is based on the panel discussions on Rooting out violence against women in politics.
