Women for Justice and Peace

Today, the rule of law often rules women out. FROWI is working to accelerate actions and policies to increase women's access to justice and foster a responsive justice system that advances women's equal rights, opportunity and participation. Justice is the foundation for gender equality and women's empowerment. FROWI is working to promote justice and peace for women in Uganda.
