| dc.description.abstract | This study is a critical analysis of the role of Non Governmental Organizations particularly (FTDA-U) The Association of Women Lawyers in protecting and promoting women’s rights in Uganda and the causes of persistent violation of such rights. The specific objective of the research is to examine the rights of women in Uganda, to find out cases of women’s rights violated in homes, to find out the forms of domestic violence and to make possible recommendation where possible. Violation of women starts from home where women face different forms of rights violated that include; denial of power to decide upon most of the family issues, domestic violence, denial of right to property ownership, less power over sexual decisions among other things and so its therefore suggested that women’s rights abuse whether its perpetrated by private or state actors, constitutes a violation of human right, it’s a duty of the state to ensure that there is no impunity for the perpetration of such violation. This analysis focuses on the pattern of oppression experienced by women in the developing countries and the different types of interventions undertaken by nongovernmental organizations to empower women over past three decades. It identifies the different modes of oppression that relate to subjugation, isolation, and exploitation and the different kinds of NGOs interventions being undertaken to mitigate them. The findings highlight both cultural and organizational factors that prevent gender mainstreaming and women empowerment. How they have contributed towards changes which are in women in Uganda. Finally the analysis concludes with implications for research on the key issues confronting women and NGOs in the developing countries. | en_US |
