Civil Society Coalition on Human Rights and Constitutional Law

Discussion Forum

Welcome to www.ugandans4rights.org, official website of the Ugandan Civil Society Coalition on Human Rights and Constitutional Law.

The Coalition was established in October 2009 in response to the tabling of a now notorious Anti-Homosexuality Bill in the Ugandan Parliament.

From modest beginnings, our membership has grown and now stands at 51 Ugandan civil society organisations, including human rights, feminist, HIV focused, LGBTI, media and refugee organisations and groups. Our primary objectives are to see the Bill dropped from the Parliament's agenda, to pro-actively contribute to elaborating a positive sexual rights agenda for Uganda, and to strengthen the capacity of civil society to engage in and contribute to these debates.

Use the site to find out the most up-to-date information on the Bill, including the perspectives of the many Ugandans who are opposed to this draconian legislation.
