Throughout this week, we will be highlighting the 3rd Uganda National Trans Forum.

Forty trans & gender-diverse leaders spent two days proving movements grounded in joy, healing & collective care aren't weaker—they're more powerful, more strategic, more capable of lasting transformation.

International Self-Care Day | July 25

At UNTF, we believe that care is revolutionary & healing is resistance.

#RepealAHA2023

Today on #TransDayOfVisibility, we envision a world free from violence, stigma, and restrictive gender norms. Visibility fosters awareness, representation, and a sense of belonging in a society that too often seeks to erase us.
#UNTFUganda
#TransIsVisible
#OurExistenceIsResistance

We engaged in a powerful discussion with Pamela Gordon & Njeri Munyiri from the Canadian High Commission Kenya delving into realities facing transgender & gender-diverse communities in Uganda.
 
We deeply appreciate the Canadian High Commission’s commitment to exploring ways to support our movement.

Beyond Binaries: Strong & Bold, Redefining Womanhood! 🏳️‍⚧️

On #IWD2025, we demand a world where trans women are affirmed, celebrated, and protected. The fight for trans rights is a fight for justice, dignity, and equality.

Read our bold call to action: 📢⬇️

#BeyondBinaries

This #InternationalWomensDay, we stand BEYOND BINARIES.

Trans women are women. Our womanhood is not a debate—it is our truth, our power, and our future.

In the face of rising fascism, and systemic violence, we are here. We are visible. We are unbreakable.

#BeyondBinaries #DecolonizeGender

This #InternationalWomensDay, we join womxn across the country and globe to call for #AcceleratedAction towards tackling structural prejudices and bottlenecks that continue to hinder women in all their diversities from enjoying the full range of our rights.

For trans & gender-diverse Ugandans, economic empowerment isn’t just about survival it’s about reclaiming dignity. The LILO Up program helps build financial resilience through entrepreneurship & skills development. This is the future we need.
