Uganda Police Disrupt and Shut Down Event Organised To Celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT)
“The actions taken by Police on a day dedicated to fighting homophobia and transphobia goes to show why this day is important and why we must continue the fight. It also goes to show how institutionalized homophobia is. We are sad but take solace in the fact that the bigger statement about the state of the rights of LGBT people in Uganda has been made. We call upon National allies and development partners to continue to support efforts to ensure that all Ugandans enjoy their constitutionally guaranteed rights” said Nicholas Opiyo, the Executive Director of Chapter Four Uganda.
PRESS RELEASE: Launch of Bombastic Magazine Fourth Edition
It is with great pride and even greater pleasure that we release/launch the long awaited fourth edition of Bombastic Magazine. While we have been off schedule due to a number of hiccups, we thank you all for your patience and continued support in keeping this project alive.
This particular edition is very special because it addresses MENTAL ILLNESS AND WELLNESS as well as INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE within the LGBTQ and sex worker populations- issues that greatly affect us a community yet there’s still a lot of shame, stigma and discrimination associated with them.

Kuchu Times Media Group (KTMG) is delighted to launch the third edition of Bombastic Magazine.

The Magazine is an anthology of stories, poems, and testimonies on varied topics including but not limited to religion, culture and health, told by the sexual and gender minority community in Uganda.

Call for Applications: Morocco Forum for Adolescent & Youth Human Rights
In September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – a historic, forward-looking and universal agenda that has the potential to save and transform the lives of billions of people by lifting them out of poverty, advancing their human rights and protecting our planet. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals have committed to improving quality education, decent work and economic growth, achieving good health
(including sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights), promoting gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment, and have reaffirmed that people are at the center of sustainable development.
Adolescents and youth are among the population groups most affected by each of the sustainable development goals. In fact, whether or not this agenda succeeds will depend on them – their experience of engagement or of
alienation, their inclusion or their further marginalization – because they are the key driving force of this sustainable development era, thus the need to invest in adolescents and young people to advance the broader ICPD Beyond 2014 priorities and Agenda 2030.
