Sign the Petition to Make Kampala Safe for Girls

Kampala, the capital of Uganda, is one of the fastest growing cities on earth. While this creates huge new opportunities for girls, it also means staggering levels of violence and harassment in the city. Eighty percent of Kampala's girls don't feel safe in public spaces.

Jacklin, Sharon and Zahara are part of Plan International's Safer Cities program in Kampala, which has already had success working with local authorities, police and boda boda (motorcycle taxi) drivers to address threats to girls' safety in the city. Now they want to take their work to the next level by advocating to the Kampala Capital City Authority led by the Director, Ms Jennifer Musisi. They are calling on the Kampala Capital City Authority to step up efforts to rid Kampala of all forms of violence and harassment – and we're backing them.

It's time the Kampala Capital City Authority acts to make the city a place where everyone can succeed. Jacklin, Sharon and Zahara are meeting with the authorities in November. And they need our support. 

End the harassment. End the violence. End the intimidation. Will you stand with these courageous girls? Add your name today!

To the Kampala Capital City Authority,


I stand in solidarity with Ugandan youth advocates who want to make Kampala safer for girls.


I support their campaign for a safer Kampala free from violence and harassment by asking you to pledge to:



  • ensure adequate security lighting on all streets in an around Kampala city

  • demolish unfinished buildings that pose a risk to safety of many girls and young women

  • ensure every street is named for ease of movement and effective response in cases of threats to safety

  • ensure all building plans provide easy access for persons with a disability

  • clean trenches to avoid flooding

  • ensure public toilets are adequate, accessible and safe

  • create an awareness campaign on the causes and impacts of violence and harassment on girls
