It documents Uganda’s efforts to reduce Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), including community surveillance systems and advocacy initiatives, and outlines Generation Equality’s multi-stakeholder approach to gender justice, economic empowerment, and climate action. The report also reviews UNICEF’s strategies for adolescent girls’ rights over 30 years, emphasizing education, reduction in child marriage, and disaster risk management.
