In her groundbreaking book, Aili Mari Tripp provides extensive data and analysis of patterns of political behavior and institutions by focusing on the unique success of indigenous women’s organizations. Tripp explores why the women’s movement grew so dramatically in such a short time after the National Resistant Movement took over in 1986. Unlike many African countries where organizations and institutions are controlled by a ruling party or regime, the Ugandan women’s movement gained its momentum by remaining autonomous.

Download or read book When Hens Begin To Crow written by Sylvia Tamale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among African countries, Uganda is unique in its affirmative action program for women. In the late 1980s, President Yoweri Museveni announced his belief that Uganda's successful development depended on increased gender equity and backed his opinions by setting several women-centered policies in motion, including a 1989 rule that at least 39 seats in the Ugandan parliament be reserved for women.In this fascinating study, based on in-depth interviews with both male and female parliamentarians, women in nongovernmental organizations, and rural residents of Uganda, Sylvia Tamale explores how women's participation in Ugandan politics has unfolded and what the impact has been for gender equity. The book examines how women have adapted their legislative strategies for empowerment in light of Uganda's patriarchal history and social structure. The author also looks at the consequences and implications of women's parliamentary participation as a result of affirmative action handed down by the president, rather than pushed up from a grassroots movement.Although focusing on Uganda, Tamale's study is relevant to other African and non-African countries grappling with the twin challenges of democracy and development.

Download or read book Miria Matembe written by Miria Rukoza Koburunga Matembe and published by Fountain Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miria Matembe is MP for Mbarara District in south western Uganda since 1996, and Minister of State for Ethics and Integrity. She tells the story of how she became a village-girl activist, tireless campaigner for women's rights in Uganda, a feminist lawyer, and active in politics, women's movements and human rights at every level. She outlines her roles in the Action for Development movement, in constitution making and the National Resistance, in the Land Act in 1998, her fight against corruption, and her relations with the media. Each chapter is followed and balanced by another contributor's experience of working with Matembe, including her husband. This book is part history of the progress of women in Uganda and Matembe's role in the struggle, and part polemic, to encourage other women and men to take her work forward in the same vein. The publication of a political autobiography by a woman, this is one of the first of its kind in Uganda.

Book excerpt: Whatever other shortcomings of representative democracy may be apparent in our world today, one issue that clearly remains only partially resolved is the participation and policy impact of one half of the population--women. This comparative study examines this issue in the context of two African countries, South Africa and Uganda, both of which have accomplished much more at the level of women's political participation than most African or indeed other countries.

Download or read book Localised Or Localising Democracy written by Josephine Ahikire and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central concern of this study is the politics of inclusion of women in Uganda s local government. The legally prescribed numerical representation of women in local government decision-making structures has led to changes, increasing significantly women s public presence in community politics. Together with the decentralisation process, this has created a new political landscape which calls for a gendered understanding of local-level politics and the inclusive potential for local democracy in Uganda. The author explores local democracy as a process within which gender power relations are a constitutive rather than a contingent part. She sets out the complex and dynamic problems, and finds, contrary to public perception, that decentralisation does not necessary enable more participation by the unprivileged, including women. Josephine Ahikire is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Social Science, Department of Women and Gender Studies at Makerere University; a senior research fellow tih the Centre for Basic Research in Kampala; and a visiting scholar at the University of Oldenburg in Germany. She is widely published on gendered constructions of public politics, labour and popular culture.

Download or read book In Idi Amin s Shadow written by Alicia C. Decker and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Idi Amin’s Shadow is a rich social history examining Ugandan women’s complex and sometimes paradoxical relationship to Amin’s military state. Based on more than one hundred interviews with women who survived the regime, as well as a wide range of primary sources, this book reveals how the violence of Amin’s militarism resulted in both opportunities and challenges for women. Some assumed positions of political power or became successful entrepreneurs, while others endured sexual assault or experienced the trauma of watching their brothers, husbands, or sons “disappeared” by the state’s security forces. In Idi Amin’s Shadow considers the crucial ways that gender informed and was informed by the ideology and practice of militarism in this period. By exploring this relationship, Alicia C. Decker offers a nuanced interpretation of Amin’s Uganda and the lives of the women who experienced and survived its violence. Each chapter begins with the story of one woman whose experience illuminates some larger theme of the book. In this way, it becomes clear that the politics of military rule were highly relevant to women and gender relations, just as the politics of gender were central to militarism. By drawing upon critical security studies, feminist studies, and violence studies, Decker demonstrates that Amin’s dictatorship was far more complex and his rule much more strategic than most observers have ever imagined.
