Although Uganda has made major strides towards gender equality, having achieved a Gender Parity Index (GPI) of 1 in primary school enrolment, the struggle for equality in the labour market is still an uphill task. Women in employment face barriers that hinder their full potential to equitably contribute to the national economy.
