Women in Uganda have significant untapped economic potential that could boost family incomes, public health, and national economic growth if not held back by gender bias. Empowering women, as outlined in MDG3, is critical for Uganda's development, as women reinvest their earnings in their families and communities and have high repayment rates on loans. Small daily actions are needed to strengthen women's roles and protect them from preventable deaths during childbirth and from HIV/AIDS in order to unlock Uganda's economic potential.
