Our #WCW for this week Aisha-Ashe our correspondent from Kasese who works with Twilight Support Initiative. Ashe shared bits of her life with us below.
She envisions a Uganda where service provision is not at all affiliated to sexual orientation and gender identity, the state needs to recognize that before we are gay or transgender we are Ugandans with constitutional rights.

. “I found my family at the end of the white line, I do not know if I am addicted and how far I can go and still remain safe! All I know is 5 minutes after this white line and I am not the abomination my parents convinced me I was.” Aries (not real name) told KTMG
This is a good time for us to reflect on our spirituality as queer women.
To kick off our five weeklong celebration, we started very close to our hearts for good luck. Our first #WOMANCRUSHWEDNESDAY is Kuchu Times Media Group Executive Director, Kasha Jacqueline Nabageresa.
After whole year of discussing about starting up a community led organisation for the Rural LGBT persons in the Rwenzori region due to dissatisfactory services from available KP led organisations. We finally had time off school and work to concentrate and kick-start the organisation.
Kuchu Times Media Group interviewed some people who were at the beginning of the LGBT+ movement in Uganda who took us down memory lane and as we close the LGBTI history month we share the history of the movement.
I remember having to deliver food door to door for LGBTQ Ugandans who reached out to me, this was a different experience for me because this time instead of them coming here at our office to meet with me, I was going to their homes.
