As Uganda celebrated International Women’s Day, Mrs. Jacqueline Katabazi made a compelling case for greater investment in the empowerment of rural women, calling them the unsung heroes of Uganda’s development. Speaking with a reporter at her home in Butare Town Council, Rubanda District, Katabazi emphasized the crucial role rural women play in the country’s progress but often go unnoticed and under-supported. As the Rubanda District Woman MP hopeful, she highlighted the need for more opportunities and resources to help these women thrive. Her call comes amid growing recognition of the challenges faced by rural communities and the importance of supporting those who are instrumental in shaping Uganda’s future.
