Formed in 1974, the Uganda Association of Women Lawyers (FIDA-Uganda) is a membership-based feminist organisation that provides legal aid services through a strategic network of offices reaching into 18 districts across the country. These offices, led by a national-level office in Kampala, are supported by lawyers, FIDA-Uganda members, Community Legal Volunteers, and local authorities. FIDA -Uganda has an established track record of promoting and defending human rights, focusing on the rights of women and children. As a feminist organization, FIDA-Uganda uses multiple strategies aimed at advancing law and policy reform for the protection of women, including advocacy, public interest litigation, and various forms of public engagement. FIDA-Uganda’s objectives, as outlined in our Strategic Plan 2022-2026, are to enhance women’s and children’s access to justice by providing quality and affordable legal services, to advance socio-economic rights and justice for women by addressing systemic inequalities, to promote gender-responsive governance at district, national, regional, and international levels, and to strengthen FIDA-Uganda’s institutional capacity as a center of legal excellence for women.
