On Decolonising Feminist Studies
How should African feminists respond to the challenge of decolonisation? This article seeks to deepen the debate on feminist studies and how it is and/or should respond to the whole impetus around decolonisation beyond buzzword politics. Without a doubt, quite several African feminists have related to this critical debate (for example, Mama, Tamale, Oyeronke, Amadiume, Yaliwe, and many others). In this case, we relate directly to the classroom ex…
Institutional and contextual obstacles to sexuality education policy implementation in Uganda
The successful implementation of sexuality education policy for young people has been shown to depend on a sound legislative and institutional framework.

Qualitative research techniques were employed in the form of systematic document reviews and extensive field-work with 64 participants, of which 32…

Adolescents’ Sexual Wellbeing in Southwestern Uganda
Measures of sexual wellbeing and positive aspects of sexuality in the World Health Organization definition for sexual health are rarely studied and remain poorly understood, especially among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of this study was to assess sexual wellbeing in its broad sense-i.e., body image, self-esteem, and gender equitable norms-and associated factors in young adolescents in Uganda. A cross-sectional survey of adole…
Girls Have More Challenges; They Need to Be Locked Up”
Unequal power and gender norms expose adolescent girls to higher risks of HIV, early marriages, pregnancies and coerced sex. In Uganda, almost half of the girls below the age of 18 are already married or pregnant, which poses a danger to the lives of young girls. This study explores the social construction of gender norms from early childhood, and how it influences adolescents' agency. Contrary to the mainstream theory of agency, which focuses on…
Embracing teen sexuality
Scholars in the related literature show that sexuality education contributes to positive sexual outcomes among teenagers, including reduction in risky sexual behaviour, construction of positive images of responsible behaviour, and reduced rates of sexual abuse and unplanned teenage pregnancies. Other benefits include increased contraceptive use and greater confidence in negotiating sexual encounters and self-esteem. In Uganda there is evidence th…
