8. The power of empowering women – Bernadette Ssebadduka

In this episode we meet UNFPA doctor Bernadette ”Bernie” Ssebadduka, who dedicates her working hours to fighting harmful cultural practices in poor rural areas in northern Uganda, such as ”courtship rape” and female genital mutilation performed under the radar.

But Bernie has also seen change sweeping across Uganda. There is hope, she says: ”We have seen the benefits of empowering women. The game changer has been education.”

Her own journey is a case in point, from growing up in a large family in a small village via the big city to becoming a highly educated, skilled professional.
