As part of its mentorship program, the Centre for Health, Human Rights and Development intends to assist a group of young women connected to organizations working in the fields of advocacy, gender and climate change, public speaking, and sexual and reproductive health and rights.
The goal of this mentoring program is to make it simpler for young female leaders to learn from people who have more experience in the aforementioned fields and to access their wealth of expertise.
This mentorship program is a component of CEHURD‘s “For an Intergenerational and Creative Ugandan Feminist Movement” project, which aims to support Ugandan feminist organizations in carrying out specific actions as a follow-up to the Generation Equality Forum (GEF) and strengthen intergenerational ties between these organizations in the areas of coalition development, capacity building, and peer learning.
The planned mentorship program will run from August through November of 2023 for a total of four (4) months.
There are several tools to locate and apply for new grants that are discounted for you.
CEHURD is looking for applications from young, ambitious female leaders who are qualified for and interested in participating in this program.
Focus Regions
- Women should have complete social, economic, and political equality, according to feminism.
- Advocacy entails enlisting the aid of a third party to help you express your opinions and demands and defend your rights.
- Speaking in front of a live audience to convey information is known as public speaking. The information being conveyed is specifically designed to enlighten, convince, and entertain.
- Ecosystems and climate change – Climate change refers to a long-term shift in the typical weather patterns that have come to characterize local, regional, and global climates on Earth.
- SRHR is more than just reproductive health; it also refers to bodily autonomy. Involving choices, consent, bodily autonomy and integrity, sexuality education (SE), and many other factors are all parts of what constitutes SRHR.
