Our values

Empowerment: We aim to empower refugees to take charge of their lives and be active participants in their communities.
Inclusivity: We strive to be inclusive and welcoming to all refugees, regardless of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or gender
Community-led: We recognize that the best solutions come from within the community itself, and prioritize the voices and needs of refugees in their work.
Accountability: We are accountable to the communities they serve, and prioritize transparency and open communication in their work
Resilience: We recognize the resilience and strength of refugees, and work to build on these strengths to support the community
Solidarity: We prioritize working in solidarity with other marginalized communities, and recognize that the struggles of refugees are interconnected with those of other marginalized groups

The Association of Refugee Women in Uganda is a refugee-led women’s rights organization dedicated to empowering refugee women and girls. Our primary focus is to bolster community-based approaches by challenging harmful socio-cultural norms, revitalizing family and community networks, developing impactful service strategies, collaborating with legal frameworks, advocating through documentation of abuses, and fostering economic independence through empowerment initiatives. Together, we strive to create lasting positive change and resilience within refugee communities.
