The Women Empowerment Uganda Females Stand For

By Stephanie Smith


It is not easy to bare the load of a woman. They have been taken for granted by men throughout the centuries, however, things are changing and will hopefully get better as time goes by. Women have always suffered abuse at the hands of their husbands, especially those from developing countries. Females are degraded and robbed of an education and in these countries and this is a cycle that does not seem to have an end. There should be more programs like the women empowerment Uganda is currently offering their females.

It is predominantly women from these developing countries that go through this. The people in these places lack education. It is even harder to be a woman and still be educated at the same time, It is not placed as priority and females are taught hat their main purpose in life is to get married and serve their husbands. Men have used this misconception and actually abused it.

This abuse takes many forms. Females in some countries are kept at home. Females as young as twelve years old are married off to men much older than they are. They are deprived of an education and worse still their childhood. In other countries they go through physical abuse and intimidation.

This happens all over the world. Most people think it is only in third world countries, however, it happens even in prominent first world countries. The only difference is that it is much more subtle in these countries. It is kept under wraps and females do not speak out against it, however since they have more liberties, they tend to act out in other ways.

This has been going on for centuries. Women have always been treated as the lesser sex and the less important sex. Yet the are tasked with bearing children. They are trusted to bring both male and females into this world, yet they are not given credit for everything else they do, such as raising them, taking care of the home and seeing to all the duties that hey have.

The most astounding thing about females is that irrespective of how badly they are treated and how much abuse they go through, be it emotional, mental or physical abuse, they still rise above their circumstances. No matter how many times they get knocked down, they still rise up, dust themselves off and keep moving. One of the most amazing things is that their children are the motivation behind their resiliency.

Although there are quite a few programs offering services to females, suffering with abuse from their husbands or other family members, many of them are still afraid to speak out. It appears that they are afraid of being beaten or cast out if this is brought to the attention of the men in their family. So many of them suffer in silence.

If you know of females who are going through similar situations you should speak out and notify the proper organizations so they van step in and be of assistance to these females. You never really know if some of these situations are actually life or death matters, until you speak out and get help.
