Balancing Cultural Practices and FGM Prevention Among College Girls in Uganda
This study examines the intersection of cultural practices and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) prevention among college girls in Uganda, focusing on the Sabiny community. The research explores how traditional beliefs surrounding FGM, which are linked to fertility, purity, and marriageability, impact young women in higher education. While education has been shown to reduce support for FGM, the study highlights that cultural beliefs still exert sig…
Voices and Agency
This Special Issue of Girlhood Studies emerges from an urgent and critical need to reframe the dominant narratives surrounding adolescent girls’ pregnancy and parenting and to center their lived realities. Too often, these girls are marginalized in research and policy and framed in relation to deficit-based perspectives that neither address adequately the systemic inequities that shape their lives nor recognize their capabilities and agency. This…
Suffering in Silence
Previous research has examined sexual violence among pregnant girls primarily from the perspective of adults or by using quantitative data. In this article, we refer to survivors’ narratives to illustrate how systemic structures and cultural frameworks perpetuate sexual violence that condemns girls to suffer in silence. The data was collected using photo voice and the life history interviews with young pregnant women and girls. Our findings show …

Engaging men in gender transformative work in institutions of higher learning
It was noted that globally, sexual harassment (SH), abuse, and exploitation in higher education institutions (HEIs) remain a problem. In Uganda, it regularly made headlines in the media. Yet, it was only after high-profile cases were reported in the media that a spotlight was put on the problem. Moreover, despite there being policies on sexual harassment, changes in reporting processes, and a roster for the swift investigation of sexual harassmen…
The meanings of resilience in climate justice
Climate crisis has become a global concern resulting in increased frequency of climate hazards and agricultural shocks. Women who dominate agricultural production in Africa are considered the most vulnerable to these shocks due to their reliance on the natural ecosystem for production, compounded by the persistent gender inequalities that make up the social ecology in which they live. Climate activism as a strategy for promoting social change has…
Indignity in Cash Transfers
Although development policy approaches in Uganda and elsewhere have changed over time, many of them share a failure to consider and respond to the potential for shaming, given the persistent presence of social norms and practices shaped by poverty. Research evidence of the lived experiences and practices of the providers and beneficiaries of the Senior Citizens’ Grant (SCG) antipoverty measure had spaces and a process of dignity building and sham…
Poverty in Global Perspective
Focussing on the psychosocial dimensions of poverty, the contention that shame lies at the 'irreducible absolutist core' of the idea of poverty is examined through qualitative research with adults and children experiencing poverty in diverse settings in seven countries: rural Uganda and India; urban China; Pakistan; South Korea and United Kingdom; and small town and urban Norway. Accounts of the lived experience of poverty were found to be very s…
Problem drinking and physical intimate partner violence against women
Problem drinking among male partners is a strong determinant of PIPV among women in Uganda. PIPV prevention measures should address reduction of problem drinking among men. Longerterm prevention measures should address empowerment of women including ensuring higher education, employment and increased income
Low Use of Rural Maternity Services in Uganda
In Uganda, lack of resources and skilled staff to improve quality and delivery of maternity services, despite good policies and concerted efforts, have not yielded an increase in utilisation of those services by women or a reduction in the high ratio of maternal deaths. This paper reports a study conducted from November 2000 to October 2001 in Hoima, a rural district in western Uganda, whose aim was to enhance understanding of why, when faced wit…
Health providers' opinions on provider-client relations
A multi-centre study in four African countries was undertaken to test the acceptability and effectiveness of Health Workers for Change, a methodology to explore provider-client relations within a gender-sensitive context. This intervention addresses the interpersonal component of quality of care. The methodology, consisting of six workshops, was implemented by research teams in Zambia, Senegal, Mozambique and Uganda. It was found to be acceptable…
