SV: {UAH} What candidates promise women ( MASTERS OF DECIET!!!!)

Mr Edward Mulindwa,
What an awkward way to interfere!! Why do you want to derail the thread? This isn't about America. This one here is about respective Ugandan political party's policy
on gender. And more specifically so, how party leaders perspectives on how to tackle the female gender issues.

It would be nice to know your own view point in contrast. Don't you have any opinion / argument?

If you don't, just don't derail it for those who desire to make an input.

It gets strange how washing a cloth over and over makes it old, Hillary Clinton's message has also become old. Women need employment and women need to be supported, actually women hold more jobs in United States and more men today are un employed. The danger we have in this province today is that more boys fail in school for we pushed this girls support too far and forgot about boys in mean time. What United States need today is a president that will lead all Americans equally, and that is making Hillary's campaign very scarely to men for she is still pumping this 'I will support women' thing as if men are animals.

1. Participation – all men and women should have a voice in decision-making either directly or through legitimate intermediate institutions that represent their intention. Such broad participation should be built on freedom of association and speech, as well as capacities to participate constructively.

3. Rule of law – legal frameworks should be fair and enforced impartially, particularly the laws on human rights.
4. Streamlining recruitment, training, promotion and retirement of the armed and security forces to ensure equal opportunity and merit while taking into consideration regional balance that embodies national character.
