TAF Events on Google Meet
Uganda Queens Fiesta
3pm WAT | 4pm CAT | 5pm EAT
TAF Uganda presents "The Queens Fiesta," a monthly Google Meet event dedicated to promoting the recruitment, empowerment and celebration of African women. Join us and be part of the conversation here.

Our theme for the month of June is
Silencing the Guns

Building on our theme, "Silencing the Guns," this week we are presenting facts and figures on conflict and violence in Africa. We are shedding light on the magnitude of these issues and emphasise the urgent need for action.

We will also look at the root causes of violence and conflict. Examining factors such as political instability, economic disparity and social injustices will help us identify the underlying reasons behind the conflicts and work towards sustainable solutions.

This month's Policy Paper will solidify the reasons why the guns must be silenced. Join us in this collaborative endeavor as we define why the chorus of peace, unity and harmony must rise to ensure a better and more prosperous future for Africans.
