Uganda\u2019s formal private sector is growing. The growth in the formal sector is marked by a number of challenges \u2013 including the lack of well-organised and strong unions. Workers\u2019 rights are therefore far from being fulfilled. Reports show that up to 90% of women experience sexual harassment in the workplace, and there is a lack of protection against sexual offences and compensation and justice for victims. Discrimination in employment based on race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin, HIV status or disability. Therefore, RHU continue to work and collaborate closely with the two important players- FUE and PSFU towards realising the poor and marginalised workers and their families are empowered to exercise their SRHR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RHU and DFPA have signed a four-year partnership contract, which will be implemented around six thematic areas during 2018-2021. Among the five thematic areas is the SRHR, Gender Equality and the Private Sector project starting January 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMPLEMENTATION LOCATION;\u00a0National Advocacy and Hoima district.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-h-3-font-size\">Project Goal &amp;
