Programa LEAP - Liderança Política de Mulheres Refugiadas nos Assentamentos de Yumbe e Adjumani, Uganda
Uganda · Yumbe · See the Uganda profile
O programa LEAP da ONU Mulheres formou mulheres refugiadas sul-sudanesas e das comunidades de acolhimento nos distritos ugandeses de Yumbe e Adjumani em liderança e meios de subsistência; a percentagem de mulheres nos Comités de Bem-Estar dos Refugiados subiu de 10% em 2017 para 48% e 54% em 2022, embora a imprensa local mostre que muitas ainda enfrentam barreiras para assumir cargos.

Context
Desde 2018, a UN Women Uganda tem gerido o Leadership, Empowerment, Access and Protection (LEAP) Programme, financiado pela Noruega com o Office of the Prime Minister, o UNHCR e o Refugee Law Project, formando mulheres refugiadas e das comunidades de acolhimento nos distritos de Yumbe e Adjumani em literacia, liderança e oratória, a par de uma vertente de meios de subsistência com a CARE International.
Results
A representação feminina nos Refugee Welfare Committees em Yumbe e Adjumani subiu de 10% em 2017 para 48% e 54%, respetivamente, em 2022; até março de 2020, a CARE International tinha organizado 977 mulheres em 34 grupos de meios de subsistência e formado mais de 1,000 refugiados e membros das comunidades de acolhimento.
Conclusions
Reportagens independentes da imprensa ugandesa sobre as mesmas estatísticas assinalam que, apesar destes progressos, muitas mulheres refugiadas continuam a evitar posições de liderança e poucas alcançam funções de topo nos comités.
