Women’s History Month is a time that is celebrated annually in March, and it is a time to honour and celebrate the countless contributions of women throughout history. This year’s theme, “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories,” highlights the power of storytelling and the important role it plays in shaping our understanding of the world, as it highlights the power of women’s voices in shaping our history and culture.

As a queer feminist organisation, Rella Women’s Foundation recognizes the importance of empowering women, particularly those from marginalised communities, to share their stories. We believe that by creating safe spaces for living, working, accessing sexual and reproductive health information and services, and seeking justice and change, we can help LBQ women to live in resilient, progressive, and sustainable safe spaces. 

Storytelling has been an essential part of human culture for thousands of years. It has played a critical role in preserving our history, culture, and traditions, and it has helped us to understand the world around us. Women have always been storytellers, even when their voices were silenced or ignored. They have passed down knowledge, shared their experiences, and inspired others through their words.

In Uganda, there are many LBQ women who have shared their stories and worked tirelessly to advance the rights and visibility of LBQ women in their communities. In this blog, we will explore the significance of storytelling in women’s history and celebrate some of the incredible LBQ women who have used their voices to shape our world.

In recent years, storytelling has become a powerful tool for activism and social change. LBQ Women are using their voices to speak out against injustice, share their struggles and triumphs, and inspire others to take action. Through storytelling, LBQ women are challenging stereotypes, breaking down barriers, and creating a more inclusive and equitable Uganda.

Celebrating LBQ Women Who Tell Our Stories has brought joy to us as there are countless women throughout history who have used their voices to shape our world. It is because of this that Rella Women’s Foundation came up with a wall of fame to recognise LBQ women who have used stories to create a backbone and history for the LBQ movement in Uganda. 

The work of these activists and others like them has been instrumental in advancing the rights and visibility of LBQ individuals in Uganda. However, there is still much work to be done to ensure that all Ugandans are able to live free from discrimination and persecution.

Rella Women’s Foundation is working to support LBQ women in Uganda and provide a platform for LBQ women to share their stories. The Foundation’s “Tales of Confidence” encourages LBQ women to share their experiences, perspectives, and provide a space for their voices to be heard. Through this project and others like this, the Rella Women’s Foundation is helping to build a more inclusive and equitable society for all Ugandans.

As we celebrate Women’s History Month we remember the important work of Ugandan LBQ women and organisations who work to uplift LBQ women and their rights. Their stories and their voices are vital to shaping a more just and equal world.

Women’s History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible contributions made by LBQ women throughout history. This year’s theme, “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories,” highlights the power of storytelling in shaping our understanding of the world. By sharing their experiences and insights, LBQ women are creating a more inclusive and equitable society. 

As a queer feminist organisation, Rella Women’s Foundation is committed to empowering LBQ women to tell their stories and to creating safe spaces for women to live, work, and thrive. Let us celebrate the women who have paved the way for us, and let us continue to amplify the voices of women everywhere.
