Gender equality and development in Uganda

The purpose of this article is to review the concept of gender equality in all aspects. Despite all the platforms that have been signed by nations, Uganda in particular, that can give men and women equal opportunities in education, employment, political leadership at all levels, financial empowerment, and equal access to assets, getting training skills for all have not been a reality and this has retarded development in Nations. There are still gaps and challenges that need to be investigated. The study used qualitative methods. The findings showed that women have not been given enough opportunities in building the nation in core development aspects and that has not elevated them to the same level with men ie getting equal opportunities, remuneration and human rights was that the government of Uganda should put training of women on computer, business, entrepreneurship, saving and involvement in most activities for more exposure.
