Nominate a Gender Equality Champion
The Gender Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Champions Award is an initiative introduced by the Jeremiah Lucas Opira Foundation (JLOF) Sweden, in collaboration with its partners in the Creative Partnership Programme: JLOF Uganda and Northood Production Initiative Gulu.
This award is dedicated to honoring and celebrating men and boys in Uganda who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to advancing gender equality, diversity, and inclusion within their communities. By challenging biases, breaking down harmful stereotypes, and promoting inclusive collaboration, these individuals play a crucial role in driving meaningful societal change.
Through this initiative, we aim to recognize their efforts, amplify their voices, and inspire others to take action. These champions remind us that fostering equity and inclusion is not just an individual effort but a collective responsibility. By spotlighting their invaluable contributions, we hope to encourage more people to join the mission of creating a world where equality and inclusion are fundamental values.
Join the Journey: Walk for Change with JLOF
This July and August 2024, Gertrude Opira, Chair of JLOF Sweden, and Professor Aihie Osarenkhoe, Advisor to JLOF, are embarking on a remarkable 700 km walk along the historic Camino de Santiago, specifically the Camino del Norte in Northern Spain. They are undertaking this personal challenge with a purpose: to raise awareness and funds for JLOF’s impactful programs in Northern Uganda. A region marked by conflict, marginalization, and socio-economic challenges. Today, it is characterized by recovery, development, and ongoing efforts to build a peaceful and prosperous region.
Walk the Path of Compassion and Change
Together, we can walk the path of compassion and change. Every step taken by Gertrude and Aihie is a step towards independence, self-sufficiency, and respect for diversity for those in need. Let’s make this journey unforgettable, not just for them but for all those we aim to help.
