    Constraints affecting the participation of girls and women in sports in Uganda
    ( 1994) Byaruhanga, Kadoodooba Akiiki
    Despite the fact that the population of Uganda consists of nearly 60% females, there are more males involved in sports in Uganda than women. More men are penetrating sports at the international level than women in Uganda. Why and what is wrong with women participation in sports in Uganda? What is it that although the qualifying standards of women for African Games are less demanding that those of men we get less women qualifying for medals at African Championships that men? Why is it that Uganda athletics in the national teams and other sports have had nearly the same women athletes in the national teams for the last two decades? Why is it that it is increasingly difficult to replace such old athletes with young athletes?

    Gender and poverty: the agriculture sector programme support in Uganda.
    ( 1999) Barasa, Catherine
    At the time of writings, Uganda was the only country in Africa with an established Ministry of Gender. The country has an operational National Gender Policy to facilitate the process of mainstreaming gender concerns in the national development process. The policy outlines the strategies to be followed and the institutional framework. It is concluded that poverty eradication and gender equity can only be achieved through recognition of the fact that the two are complementary.

    Protecting the rights of rural women
    ( 1991-08) Bagalaaliwo, Sarah
    Uganda is a state whose various tribes and communities subscribe to the principles of 'patriarchal societies' in whose structure man is the subject, boys are the issue and all members of the female sex are still referred to in terms of the Biblical story of creation. Our customary norms and practices are a clear manifestation of the subordinate classification of "woman". Our state laws likewise reflect the lenient accommodation of customs and beliefs that are biased against women.

    Social issues in the prevention of perinatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
    ( 1992) Nalwanga-Sebina, Abby
    Over the last 10 years, a strong relationship between women’s status including access to income and decision-making in the home have drawn. Increasing attention in the area of reproductive health. Changing trends in economic and social lives of many African countries, the family is increasingly faced with financial hardships. This in turn has forced women in the labour market thus affecting the hierarchy and the decision-making process within the family(10)(11). Subsequently, women’s working patterns have changed and along with it their health. Child care and rearing practices. Hence, the strong relationship between these variables and increased perinatal/neonatal morbidity and mortality.
