By 2025, gender equality and human rights of people in Uganda are promoted, protected, and fulfilled in a culturally responsive environment.

The situation of women's rights has not changed much since last year. Gender based violence is still high, but the country is awaiting the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey report to get a more accurate information in this. However, public trust in the justice system is improving. In 2023, public trust in the justice system stood at 69% according to data collected from the SEMA pilot program located at 50 frontline JLOS service points (JLOS annual report, 2022/23). This presents a 7-percentage point increase from the 62% reported in 2022.
