How Legal Services Fit Within VISTA

Vista Foundations Uganda exists to empower adolescent girls and young women through health, education, economic empowerment and climate action. Many of the barriers faced by AGYW are rooted in legal and rights-related issues: unsafe relationships, property disputes, unfair contracts, abuse, and lack of information about their rights.

By utilising the services of Kamagara Editah, Vista integrates a strong legal protection component into its programmes, ensuring that vulnerable girls and young women are not only supported socially and economically, but are also protected in law.

Discrimination In all forms

Gender Based Violence (GBV)

Denied Health Care

Expoilation

Lack of Information about their rights

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
