Impact

Although Uganda is making strides in gender equality, as many as one-third of adolescent girls may still be married by the time they are 18, and it is estimated that 14,000 young women aged 15-24 contracted HIV in 2019. Every year that a girl stays in school, her chances of marrying young, unplanned pregnancy or contracting a sexually transmitted disease is reduced.
