A Leader Shaped by Research and Reality
Hon. Nakku’s agenda is built on extensive field research that exposes the deep inequality experienced by women workers across the country. The findings indicate:
A sharp rise in exploitation of female workers
Persistent cases of workplace harassment
Poor working environments, especially in countryside industries
A long-standing lack of meaningful representation for women at policy level

Strengthen protections for women at workplaces
Champion fair labour practices
Push for strict enforcement of laws against sexual harassment
Promote access to opportunities, skills, and economic empowerment
Ensure countryside female workers are included in national labour reforms
A Voice Answering a Decade of Silent Struggles

For many, Hon. Fiona Nakku’s arrival feels timely. She brings the promise of renewed hope and is widely viewed as a leader capable of delivering real change. Her candidacy symbolizes a turning point for women who have long felt overlooked in the labour movement.
A New Chapter in the Fight for Women’s Rights
