Stories of women who have transformed adversity into strength through our support.
FIDA-Uganda empowers women, promotes gender equality, and champions human rights through legal aid, advocacy, and public education.
Rights realized and enjoyed in homes, courts, workplaces, and communities across the nation.
The Uganda Association of Women Lawyers (FIDA-Uganda) is a membership-based feminist non-government organisation established in 1974 to advance women's rights, promote gender equality, and strengthen access to justice. Operating across Uganda through a network of legal aid clinics, lawyers, members, Community Legal Volunteers, and development partners, FIDA-Uganda works to ensure that women and children can access justice and enjoy their fundamental human rights.
Through legal aid, public interest litigation, advocacy, and community empowerment, FIDA-Uganda challenges systemic inequalities, influences legal and policy reforms, and promotes gender-responsive governance. Our work extends across community, district, national, regional, and international spaces, advancing women's socioeconomic rights, strengthening accountability, and championing the protection of women and children. We remain committed to strengthening access to justice and building an equitable society where women and girls can fully realise their rights and participate in shaping the decisions that affect their lives.
