A new unit of the VOTE: Women programme has officially launched in Uganda and Tanzania, marking the next step in Pollicy’s mission to empower women in civic leadership.
The launch of the new cohort was attended by participants in Kampala and Dar es Salaam and included women political leaders, women rights defenders, journalists, and representatives from civil society organisations at Royal Suites Bugolobi last Thursday.
Women leaders in Cohort 1 shared testimonies about the impact the programme has had on their careers.
Olive Namazzi, a woman councillor at KCCA who has been a victim of online harassment in the past, highlighted the importance of strengthening passwords as one of the key things she learnt during the training.
