Résumé
Cette étude sur l’évaluation de l’impact de l’influence des femmes dans l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre des lois et politiques en Ouganda entre 1995 et 2005 se fonde sur l’hypothèse selon laquelle il reste encore beaucoup à faire, même si les femmes ont fait progresser la lutte pour l’égalité des sexes et l’appropriation des sphères économiques, sociales et politiques par les femmes,. Cette situation s’explique par le fait que le patriarcat reste encore une institution forte, et que l’intégration du genre dans la détermination des choix politiques et des lois, et la manière dont ces derniers influencent la qualité de vie des femmes et des hommes est encore loin d’être satisfaisante.
Certes, le gouvernement applique une constitution sensible et réactive aux questions liées au genre et le nombre des femmes participant au jeu politique et à la gouvernance s’est régulièrement accru. Cependant, cette étude estime que leur participation n’a pas provoqué l’effet escompté sur les lois et les politiques au point de les rendre sensibles aux questions liées au genre et réactives aux droits, aux intérêts et aux besoins des femmes. L’étude recommande donc des politiques permettant le renforcement de la participation et de la contribution des femmes ainsi que de leur l’influence sur les politiques et les lois œuvrant à l’égalité de sexes et à l’autonomisation des femmes dans l’ensemble de la société.
