I never stop learning and laughing. I tell the truth. I hug people and say, ‘I love you’ and “I’m sorry”. I fight for humanity everyday. I challenge everyone about everything. When I look at my kids I see nothing but socially adjusted, intelligent, beautiful children who are so so happy.

Uganda has made significant strides in the struggle to respect, promote and protect women’s rights. This is especially evident in its legal framework, which is all encompassing and gender neutral. However although the laws recognise the need to protect women’s rights, their implementation breeds a different result. Many laws that appear gender neutral on the books are actually implemented discriminatively against the women. This is as a result of failure for the legislature to address the embedded, institutionalised and structural gender inequalities that have been caused by decades of gender discrimination and marginalisation.
HRAPF is an independent, non-partisan, Non- Governmental organisation registered under the laws of Uganda. HRAPF is specifically interested in human rights awareness, promotion, protection and advocacy in favour of the most marginalised persons in Uganda. To achieve these objectives, HRAPF employs legal and policy analysis, legal research and strategic litigation. HRAPF also works closely with like-minded organisations to achieve its objectives. It is for purposes of strengthening its collaboration and partnerships with these organisations that HRAPF seeks to recruit an Outreach Coordinator.
In 2012, the Gay and Lesbian Coalition of K
enya (GALCK) experienced its most challenging period
characterised by rapid and extensive structural and programmatic changes, allegations of
malpractice, the discovery of fraudulent financial processes and a palpable disconnection from the
community it cl
aimed to serve. In January 2013, member representatives came together and
unanimously decided to revive the Coalition themselves. This decision gave birth to the GALCK
Reloaded Taskforce (GRT) mandated with not only restoring GALCK at the heart of the LGBQ
movement in Kenya but taking it to the next level.
Many of Julia Gunther’s photographic subjects have faced oppression, discrimination and isolation before they were 20 years old. Many were pushed out of their homes and ostracized from their families. They faced atrocities including rape, beatings and expulsion. All because these women are living proudly as lesbians in South Africa.
“The only difference between Apartheid and now, is that blacks are suppressing blacks,” Gunther wrote in an email to The Huffington Post. The combination of injustice and bravery compelled Gunther to document these women and their remarkable stories.
