Abstract

The paper explores the meaning of gender equity and equality in ensuring gender mainstreaming and women’s active participation in governance, rule of law and decision making processes. The paper makes an inquiry into the specific legal, policy and strategic framework that provides for gender mainstreaming in the Uganda police specifically focusing on women’s role within the Uganda Police Force. Further, the paper provides an insight on the challenges faced by women serving in Uganda’s police force. Lastly, the paper provides recommendations that can be put in place to ensure and enable women play a more efficient role while serving in the Uganda police force.
